They are a motley crew with varied strengths

I surround myself with people who have strengths different than me, said Kirk Herath, VP, chief privacy officer, associate general counsel, Nationwide Insurance. I try to choose people who have strengths different from each other. We all have pot holes. My team fills in my pot holes and always provides me with all of the information and solutions necessary to make me look brilliant. Vik Patel (@fhsales), president and CEO, Future Hosting, agreed with Herath: Always have people on your team who are smarter than you. If youre the smartest one in the room, you have failed.
