Benjamin Polk

Business Catalyst

"You have to recognize that every 'out front' maneuver you make is going to be lonely, but if you feel entirely comfortable, then you're not far enough ahead to do any good. That warm sense of everything going well is usually the body temperature at the center of the herd."

— John Alan Masters (Often shared by H. Irving Grousbeck, Stanford GSB)
