What he learned surprised him-his employees thought he was distant and didn't trust their work. "The biggest challenge for me was realizing I couldn't do everything myself," he says.

first job as a professor was at an Ivy League university. The students were happy to be taught, and we, their teachers, were happy to be teaching them.
