“If you don’t believe this is a great country and that it has a lot of great people, all you’ve got to do is [listen to] that podcast [and it will change your mind].”
There’s a lot of Charlie Munger in this statement, and it is very true:
“The world is going to disappoint you,” warned Wright. “You’re probably going to fail more than you succeed — in anything. That’s just the way it works. Life is iteration. It is, by and large, trial and error. No one has ever lived your life before.”
It's also the process of learning a business "from the bottom up" and, as you rise, seeing it "from the top down" and integrating a thorough understanding of it all to obtain Win/Win relations at every level of your organization and its outside relations: management, workers, suppliers, buyers, shareholders, regulators, government.
Absolutely! The profile of Wright in the Knox News that I linked to in Friday’s newsletter does a great job of showing how he really integrates himself into every level of the organization and sees problems through his employees’ eyes.
Awesome write-up, enjoyed the read!
Thanks!
