“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.”
– Steve Jobs (The co-founder of Apple, the founder of NeXT and the former CEO of PIXAR)
Translation:
“Hire A-players. You simply cannot afford to employ the B and C players who will plague your business with chronic lateness, life issues, missed deadlines and personal problems.”
– Clay Clark
