Who is a leader? A leader is the person who control things by position. Here's the key: there's an energy to leadership. There's a passion, a level of connectedness that leaders have with others. People like Las Vegas developer Steve Wynn, who defines energy, vision, and relationship.
In 1989, Wynn decided to test his vision and put it into action by building the Mirage and then Treasure Island. After proving his success, he built the extravaganza icon of the Bellagio. Wynn started a $12 billion building his wonderful works such as the Wynn and the Encore. Time Magazine placed him as one of the "World's 100 Most Influential People."
Steve is a problem solver, creative and innovative where we can see from his quote:
Wynn is also a detail oriented person. We can see it based on the Q&A between Business Insider and Steve Wynn which he can still remember the building structured:
BI: How is the progress on the Cotai casino project?
SW: I remember studying a chart 2 months ago with my colleagues that showed, for example, if you're interested in this, the high-rise has columns on 36-foot centers and there are 40 of them. There are 40 structural base that are used for suites and rooms. The regular base, 2 rooms, and sometimes 2 structural base were used for super deluxe suites. The building is 98 feet wide. It's extremely deep because the rooms are 45 feet deep with an 8-foot hallway, which is -- you only see 8-foot hallway in buildings. While in Cotai, our typical hallway is 8-foot wide and 7-foot tall. So what happens is that we have 40 columns, 40 structural base and we have 4 of them across the building. There's one on each outside window and 2 on the interior.
