What was Hughes's core business philosophy?
My philosophy was simple: identify a need or an inefficiency, then engineer a superior solution. Whether it was designing a faster airplane or making a more compelling film, it came down to meticulous planning, relentless testing, and an unwavering focus on quality and efficiency. I believed in controlling all aspects of a project, from conception to execution, to ensure the best possible outcome. It was about pushing boundaries and never settling for 'good enough'.
