"If it gets to my desk, then no one else could have handled it"

Why being a founder/CEO is similar to being US President….

From an interview with George Clooney in Esquire magazine:

I talked with the president at one of those fundraisers some months back, and i asked him, “What keeps you up at night?”
And he said, “Everything. Everything that gets to my desk is a critical mass. If it gets to my desk, then no one else could have handled it.”
