Chamath Palihapitiya(@chamath):Enterprises still measure an executive's importance by the size of the team they manage. But this is an old proxy for a world where more people was the only way to do more work. This isn’t true anymore. The leaders who will be most impactful over the next five years will be the ones whose people spend all their time on only the work that actually moves the business, because they use systems and factories to do more of the rest.
