One person can be the solution. One person who has a clear perspective of the problem(s), a vision to move forward, and the power to do so; solves problems by the perspective and vision being good and getting people on board from the top down. That's how one person solves a big problem. They find the solution, get people to agree and work in concert, and sideline the people in the way.

Most people, though, aren't capable of this. Hopefully this guy is.
