As leader, probably the most
important role we can play is asking the right questions and focusing on
the right problems. If you are focusing on the wrong questions, you’re not
really providing the leadership you should.

It has been said that after meeting with the great British Prime Minister
William Ewart Gladstone, you left feeling he was the smartest person in the world,
but after meeting with his rival Benjamin Disraeli, you left thinking you
were the smartest person. Bono
