Smile Remember

I remember years ago I watched Jerry Lewis being interviewed on a show and I think it was David Frost interviewing.. What I found interesting is that he [Jerry] had a large organization that he managed and he felt it was easy to manage an employee who was not that smart and knew it while it is difficult to almost impossible to manage an employee who was not that smart but thought he/she was. Sounds pretty simple but this put it in simple management terms.
Another point was that we always thought of him being just a comic, [Browns Hotel in the Catskills] while in fact as he grew he ended up with a very large organization that required his managing what would be considered a sizable business. He had business relationships with the Movie industry, night clubs, book publishing, charity, speaking engagements, etc. This kind of gives a different view of him?
