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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
Don't hire for the sake of hiring. Hire because there is no other way to do what you want to do.
I'm really good at hiring good people.
You want to hire great people and give them the opportunity to fail. You need to let them figure things out as they go along. If they fail repeatedly, then you probably have to find a different person, but if you don't let people have that opportunity to fail, they don't get to learn and grow and try things.
I think great bosses hire great people. 'A' people hire 'A' people, but 'B' people hire 'C' people; they're worried they might be shown up... they're concerned that that person might make them look bad.
When you start to prioritize hiring likable people within your organization, these likable people will attract other likable people.
Always be smarter than the people who hire you.
Usually people just hire me.
Successful companies hire people.
You're only as good as the people you hire.
