Building a great team is the lifeblood of any startup, and finding great talent is one of the hardest and costliest tasks any CEO will ever face.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Talent is the No. 1 priority for a CEO. You think it's about vision and strategy, but you have to get the right people first.
You know, as most entrepreneurs do, that a company is only as good as its people. The hard part is actually building the team that will embody your company's culture and propel you forward.
CEOs who can hire properly, that's the most important part of the job. The CEO's job is really to hire the right team and execute the vision second.
Clearly, every company needs a leader. That's an important part of being the CEO of the company.
We can't all be good at everything. This is partly the logic behind having a team in the first place, so each role can be filled with the person best suited for that role and together, every job and every strength is covered.
Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.

Today, the biggest bottleneck to the growth of a corporation is availability of good talent.
I would say that I'm blessed with a very, very good executive team that operates, reasonably autonomously, each of the companies.
Visionary CEOs are not 'just' great at assuring world-class execution of a tested and successful business model: they are also world-class innovators.
