Despite his success as a multi-investor and UBA bank supremo, Elumelu emphasized the importance of recognizing one's limitations and surrounding oneself with talented individuals. He wrote, "Talent I don't have, I surround myself with people who have it. You must recognize your limitations but make sure you are intelligent enough to support yourself with those who are better, those who are more intelligent in that area than yourself."
Elumelu's post resonated with many of his followers, sparking a conversation about the essence of leadership and teamwork. One user commented, "Have a structure of valuable people around you can never go wrong. Ever since I learned this, everything changed for me." Another noted, "You just described leadership in a single tweet, sir. Even if you have all the talents, you can't do all the work if you are aiming to build something that will last for a long time. Learn how to help people use their talents well, they will worship you!"
