Son's Square Law (translated)
Hidenori Itagaki · 3 highlights
““In any battle, if you do not have an excellent general, you cannot achieve great success. (Omitted) You need at least ten excellent generals to support you, who share the resolve to give up an arm, a leg, or even their life if necessary. How many such generals can you have as your subordinates? This will determine whether you can pull a mountain as a general.””
“No matter how talented a person is, they cannot achieve anything alone. To accomplish something big, you inevitably need collaborators who share your goals. So far, Masayoshi Son, as the “general” of SoftBank Group, has gathered many exceptional “generals.” Yoshitaka Kitao, currently the CEO of SBI Holdings, is precisely one of them (see below).”
