Dell emphasized that there is no such thing as a self-made success. He said his most important role at Dell was growing and developing a strong team, and that he learned very early to surround himself with talented people who challenge convention, offer new ideas, and relentlessly drive for improvement. In professional circles it's called networking, in organizations it's called team building, and in life it's called family, friends, and community. The most rewarding experiences, he said, always came from relationships.
