“For the
strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.” – Rudyard Kipling
Titans
throughout understand this concept. Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, John D.
Rockefeller, Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Warren Buffet, Bill Gates. Each of
them surrounded himself with effective and powerful people. Without their
companions, they would be nothing.
Rockefeller
once hired
an attorney who opposed him in a court case. He thought the lawyer
was so strong and effective at standing up against him that he thought it wise
to have that man on his side.
Carnegie knew
almost nothing about producing or marketing of steel yet built the greatest
steel company of his time. He recognized people who were capable and became
known for developing those around him, instead of buying ready-made
talent.
Ford was called
a quiet, shy man. It was his wife who empowered him and brought out the
greatness we know him to be.
Each of these
men held relationships with extraordinary women who were harmonious in mind and
spirit with them. They depended on one another.
These titans
did not expect to be experts in their industry. They wanted to be the experts
in growing reliable talent to create superior products and services in their
industry. The strength of their packs made them great. Concurrently, the pack
depended on the guidance of the titan to make them effective.
What pack are
you building, such that you and your pack are known for being the best in your
industry?
