  "summary": "The article discusses the importance of choosing the right decision makers within an organization as it grows and cannot be run by a single leader. It emphasizes that leaders should look for individuals who possess qualities such as judgement, emotional maturity, accountability, and perspective. Judgement involves assessing available information, recognizing uncertainty, and making reasoned choices while acknowledging one's limitations. Behaviour under pressure, accountability, and the ability to listen are also highlighted as crucial qualities. Additionally, integrity and distinguishing between decisiveness and recklessness are mentioned as factors to consider when selecting decision makers.",
