    "As the person leading the meeting, your job is to provoke and channel the talents and expertise of everyone in the discussion. This rarely makes you look smart."
This reminds me of the Steve Jobs quote:

    "It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

Because traditional authoritative sources that I would look to for guidance are completely out of date. From where I sit it looks to me like they are more focused on milking endowments than discovering what is happening in the real world.

>And of course the author knows.

Author here, I don't actually know, I'm still learning.

But I know that by observation most of my peers are truly ignorant and just winging it.

Fixing that would make life better for everyone.
