Often the best solution to a management problem is the right person. |
I noticed that the dynamic range between what an average person could accomplish and what the best person could accomplish was 50 or 100 to 1. Given that, you're well advised to go after the cream of the cream. A small team of A+ players can run circles around a giant team of B and C players. |

If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur. |
Leaders don't flock. You have to find them one at a time. |

Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he's hired to do. |

Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals in important jobs. |

As a business owner or manager, you know that hiring the wrong person is the most costly mistake you can make. |
Great vision without great people is irrelevant. |
