How Much Do You Own?

“There's probably two or three decisions a year which I own and I have to say 'trust me, I think this is the best thing for the organization.' And I better be right. But I don't want to do that more than two or three times. I have a lot of ideas, and my colleagues talk me out of a lot of them.”
