I'm reminded -- and I need to remind myself -- that leadership is made up of many things. One component that I want to emphasize today is simplicity. Leadership is about making things simple. The world is a complex thing. In fact, the fourth law of business is that businesses tend to complexity. The leader of a business must fight this complexity -- and communicate simplicity to the world, to customers, and to employees.
I couldn't agree more. Costco's leadership preaches this point over and over. I think it's universally true.
