Finding Opportunities

Education gives knowledge but leaders need to know how to put that knowledge to use. Hill relates a long story which results in the moral that Henry Ford may not have known many facts but he employed men who could supply him those facts.

I don't think that he means that academic knowledge is useless; he means that successful people know how to put that knowledge to use. A teacher once told me that an expert does not know the answer; an expert knows where to find it.
