The best leaders I know have one surprising trait — they intentionally surround themselves with people smarter than them. Griff Long, President of Upgrade Labs, shared something very valuable: he measures his success not by income, but by how many people he’s influenced. His proudest moment? Getting a letter 10 years later from an employee who said, “You believed in me,” — she’s now Chief of Staff for California’s Treasury. The real question isn’t how much you know, it’s how much you help others discover what they’re capable of.
