TOP 2 IQ Percentile Re: [extropy-chat] Seven cents an hour?

[Lifespan Pharma Inc/ MFJ-CTO]

I was once told that a good leader surrounds him/her self with people 
brighter than him/her self who are
extremely proficient in specific areas and manages the talent to 
implement the broader plans that leadership
strategically develops and mentors/oversees/tweaks  to completion.  I 
was again told at project management course I took
this last week that the "sponsor" can be a generalist and just 
micromanage to the level at which all the
hazards/deviations  can be noted and remedied within the pre-determined 
constraints of the scope of the longer/broader
overall plan.

I am an ENTJ  and  only after taking a leadership training program  in 
1998-99 did I get properly tested, and
learn how to make the best uses of all those blessed curses  that go 
with the package.
I only wish I had taken this kind of training 20 years earlier.
