Richard Branson stresses the need to be a good listener and the importance of breaking down silos. Strong leaders , he tells us must have vision, creativity and ability to influence them to follow and support them in the challenges of moving an organization into uncharted and often highly risky territory.

Hiring a right candidate to important.

Hire a new guy to shake up the things

Fun environment is important to build passion and build relationships.
