How to Manage People Who Are Smarter than You?

https://hbr.org/2015/08/how-to-manage-people-who-are-smarter-than-you

I thought this was great article for continued leadership development. Not everyone on RP will agree with the author's concepts and theories on surrounding yourself with individuals that are smarter than you, but if you look at it from a command/leadership perspective you will get some valuable tools to add to the leadership tool box.

There are a lot of things to be learned from both the military hierarchy leadership and from the civilian world of leadership. I've tried to blend the good from both worlds and it has paid dividends for me. Try to be "open minded" as you preview these concepts and the "Do's and the Don'ts", along with several Case Studies!

That dog looks like me after a couple weeks of no shaving.

I don't know how to answer that without a military bias of rank.
