Marketing - Advertising / Public Relations | | Spanish term or phrase: "el limite de una empresa es aquel que los que la dirigen quieran imponerle" | I can't find/think of a neat equivalent for this saying.
The text is talking about the success of two brothers, founders of a large multinational, and how they have made this "saying" true. |
| | | English translation:A company can go as far as its leaders want to take it | Explanation:
Or a couple other options (of course you can always say owners or managers instead of leaders):
A company's only limits are (those) in the mind of its leaders/are in the mind of those who lead it.
A company is only limited by its leaders’ drive and imagination.
...or any combination of the above. :-) |

sorry not owners but LEADERS (Michael's translation is nice but doesn't give the impact of QUERER); Steve's is nice too, but I find it too far from the original sentence - being a quotation)
