A visionary company is like a great work of art. Think of Michelangelo\'s scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel or his statue of David.

Think of a beautifully designed building, like the masterpieces of Frank Lloyd Wright or Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. You can\'t point to any one single item that makes the whole thing work; it\'s the entire work-all the pieces working together to create an overall effect-that leads to enduring greatness.

That power rests on a foundation consisting of the choices we make in life. And those choices almost always dictate the amount of trust others have in us, and to what level of leadership we rise.
Responsibility is the most important ability that a person can possess.
