“I not only use all the brains I have, but all I can borrow.”
Woodrow Wilson, US President.

Before Greg Dyke was ousted from the BBC, when asked in an interview about leadership, he made the point that leadership was something he sought from everybody in his organisation. One reason, perhaps, to explain why he was given an ovation by his people as he left.
