I hire people brighter than me and I get out of their way.
Great vision without great people is irrelevant.
Often the best solution to a management problem is the right person.
A great person attracts great people and knows how to hold them together.
Never hire someone who knows less than you do about what he’s hired to do.
I am convinced that nothing we do is more important than hiring and developing people. At the end of the day you bet on people, not on strategies.
The key for us, number one, has always been hiring very smart people.
Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.
People are not your most important asset. The right people are.
If you think it’s expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
Hire character. Train skill.
