I am great at delegating when someone is doing great work. The problem - and this sounds terrible - is that there are very few people who are strong enough for you to be able to delegate to.

Tom Ford
Image
I'm very aware that when my friends and I sit around over dinner these days, the conversation invariably turns to how crass the world has become. Tweeting? It's one of the silliest things ever.

I'm very direct. I don't have tantrums. I don't yell or shout. I do expect an awful lot from my staff, but no more than I expect of myself.

I interview these people all the time who come to my office and say, I want to be a fashion designer. I tell them where they should start, and they say, I don't want to do that. I don't want to get anyone coffee. Don't they know it is great to get people coffee?
