The last person I heard say it was Bill Delbrugge, “As CEO of your business, surround yourself with great people so that the business will run better without you.”

I have admitted to being a serial entrepreneur — owning, operating and selling nine businesses in 32 years. But I finally understand the value of this advice. Working with the Palm Coast Observer is the first time I have successfully built an organization where I am surrounded by a team that pushes me in excellence every day. Last year, every one on our editorial staff was honored by peers on a state or national level for excellence in their respective journalism roles.

Additionally, if it wasn’t for the success of our sales team, there wouldn’t be a a newspaper to read. (Please support our advertisers.)

Remember when we started publishing in February 2010, 16 pages, once per week? Now we publish three papers weekly.
I am surrounded by a great staff. But hang on, staff. I’m not going anywhere. Yet
