If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like.

Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.

A good boss makes his men realize they have more ability than they think they have so that they consistently do better work than they thought they could.

Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.

You're only as good as the people you hire.

We focus on two things when hiring. First, find the best people you can in the world. And second, let them do their work. Just get out of their way.

I'm really good at hiring good people.

Some people seem to sort of have a gut for hiring. I literally had a gut that was exactly the opposite. So whenever I thought someone would be great, it was sort of the opposite.

As a modern employer you have to treat people well.
