Being young and ambitious is good, but not everyone will be convinced that you know what you are doing, especially those who have been around much longer than you and have seen it all. When you can attract such mature and experienced talent to pursue your vision, it boots your confidence and self-belief. It also puts an obligation on you to avoid disappointing such people. I am grateful for having worked with some very senior professionals who demonstrated immense respect for my leadership on the board and in management. They have inspired me with their commitment, honesty and measured loyalty. We built a strong bond of trust and respect for each other, even when we had different views on some issues.
