- Bench strength is critical. Hiring weak people begets weak results. Find the best people and compensate them VERY well…. It saves money in the long run.
- The tougher the times, the better the people you need. There is no way to survive a bad market with weak people.
- Mediocre people are easy to hire and difficult to fire.
- Always be upgrading your talent and never be afraid to pay them what they need to make.
- Any fool can make money in the good times.
- One superstar is of greater value than an unlimited number of mediocre performers.
- Never wait to address personnel issues or mediocre performance. Either they are doing a great job, or they aren’t. If they aren’t, take action. My job isn’t to babysit or beg people to do their jobs.
- The cost of being long suffering with an incapable or misplaced employee is far greater than the discomfort of having a tough evaluation and speedy termination.
- A culture rooted in past successes, growth at all costs and aggressive bonus structures will produce employees who don’t think, who aren’t skeptical and who ignore risks.
