You know, for many years, we've been an ad in the Super Bowl for our booking.com company.

I just recently got the most recent one that is being looked at for the upcoming game and all that.

And they say, what do you think?

And I always say, it doesn't matter what I think.

It's irrelevant.

It's what have you come up with?

And is this worth the money to spend on it? Or should we sell the spot or not? It's what have you come up with? And is this worth the money to spend on it or should we sell the spot or not?

It's nice to you to ask me, but what the heck do I know?

What if the key to strong leadership isn't having all the answers, but rather having the wisdom and courage to say, I don't know.

Welcome to How Leaders Lead.

I'm David Dobeck, and every week I have conversations with the very best leaders in the world to help you become the best leader that you can be.

My guest today is Glenn Fogle, the CEO of

booking holdings. That's the company behind big travel brands like booking.com, kayak, price line,

and open table. Now, having been at the company for 25 years, Glenn's got a heck of a lot of experience

to draw on. And yet, he's the first to admit when something isn't in his area of

expertise. And instead of guessing, he trusts the experts on his team to guide the way. You see,

great companies aren't built by ego. They're built by leaders who ask questions, listen,

and rely on the smart people around them.

And in this conversation, you'll hear exactly how Glenn does it.

Plus, the lessons he's learned riding elephants in Thailand, we both have a story to share there,

and surviving a Wall Street firing.

And I'm glad I don't have a story to share there.
