“Good leadership requires you to surround yourself with people of diverse perspectives who can disagree with you without fear of retaliation.”
“If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.(Isaac Jaffe, Sports Night)”
“Stupid people surround themselves with smart people. Smart people surround themselves with smart people who disagree with them.”
“If you surround yourself with the good and righteous, they can only raise you up. If you surround yourself with the others, they will drag you down into the doldrums of mediocrity, and they will keep you there, but only as long as you permit it.”
“Surround yourself only with people who are going to take you higher.”
“Don’t you dare, for one second, surround yourself with people who are not aware of the greatness that you are.”
