I preferred feels like they can call the shots In every idea they would have because in that way we could find that cash cow that we´re looking for in our company. I really want to do things in that way because I don´t want them to cave in and give up. Every person in my company would have great potential so I want that energy helps us to bang for our buck with the profits.
