“When people begin their careers, they start as an individual contributor. You’re a technical expert; your worth and your value are based on what you know and what you can do as an individual.
“Then there’s an interesting journey that you have to take from an individual contributor to a leader of people. I enjoy watching people go through this change and helping them make the transition. What you eventually realize is that your success as a leader is not really yours, it’s the team’s. You’re not successful without the team, so it’s your ability to support, motivate, and guide the team that allows us to accomplish amazing things.
“It’s really important as a leader to keep this in mind. Certainly, leaders have opinions, but it’s your ability to give the team a voice and to get them working effectively as a team that makes us successful.”

“人们在开始职业生涯时，都是从个人贡献者做起。你是一个技术专家；你的价值和你的价值是基于你作为一个个体所知道的和你能做的。
“然后，你必须经历一个从个人贡献者到领导者的有趣历程。我喜欢看着人们经历这种变化，并帮助他们完成转变。你最终会意识到，作为一名领导者，你的成功其实不是你自己的成功，而是团队的成功。没有团队，你就不会成功，因此，正是你支持、激励和指导团队的能力，才让我们取得了令人惊叹的成就。
“作为领导者，牢记这一点非常重要。当然，领导者也有自己的观点，但让团队发出声音、让他们作为一个团队有效工作的能力，才是我们成功的关键。”
