The advice by Harriet Green is very similar to that of Nolan Bushnell (Atari and Chuckie Cheese founder...if you lived in america as a child you will appreciate both!).

The remainder of the article gives insights from other top CEOs, well worth a read.
"Always surround yourself with people who are better than you. Whatever it is that you are not - surround yourself with them." A surprising bit of business advice offered by Harriet Green, former boss of the Thomas Cook Group.
