Leaders Invest in Growing and Developing People

The Single Biggest Entrepreneurial Obstacle
I realize that it’s a superlative title to a very subjective matter, but I have honestly felt for years that the talented and intelligent (and sometimes not even intelligent) people I have met that are successful all share one common characteristic.
