My Take
What strikes me about Ron Dennis is the discipline. Plenty of people love motorsport, but turning McLaren into a serial championship-winning institution across nearly three decades takes a kind of relentless, almost monastic obsession with detail. Seven Constructors' titles between 1984 and 1998 aren't luck; they're the residue of a culture he built. I admire that he didn't stop at racing either, founding McLaren Automotive and pushing the brand into road cars. He's the rare executive who treated an organisation itself as a piece of engineering. The knighthood and CBE feel earned. To me, he embodies the unglamorous, exacting side of greatness.
