CHAPTER 4

How to Build an Outrageously Talented Team

WHEN I HIRE KEY PEOPLE, I’m trying to achieve a two-part goal: accomplish big things and have fun doing it. There’s nothing contradictory about this when you have the right people in place—and if you can do it at scale, you’ll have an organization that can pursue big goals.

CEOs tend to get credit for the accomplishments of the teams they lead, but in reality, the most important thing a CEO does is recruit superlative people who have a combination of impressive traits. Talent is a must of course, but it’s equally important to hire quality people who are capable of constructive interactions with others.

In an earlier chapter, I made the point that aiming for perfection can be counterproductive; good is usually good enough.
