HANDS-ON

I still drive to construction sites. I still look at floor plans. At 80 years old, I still care whether the kitchen layout makes sense. That is the difference between a developer and a financier.

I go to the stores because that is where the truth is. Not in the boardroom.

I walk the floors of every operation. I know the cost per tonne in every mine. You cannot run a commodity business from a boardroom.
