Good people hire people that are better than themselves.” He also believes that mediocre employees hire less-talented employees in order to feel better about themselves.
I thought this was a profound statement! In Intro to Org Leadership, we learned about strengths based theory, the belief that everyone has strengths and if you can identify them and utilize them for the better of the team it is a better technique than pointing out weaknesses and try to change those. I also like the following statement that says, "the role of a leader is to produce more leaders." It takes a confident and humble leader to consciously seek people with strengths that they lack and to place them in the business to utilize those strengths. I hope to be this kind of leader because I do believe in building up those around me and as the saying goes, "It is the greatest achievement of a teacher to enable his students to surpass him." I also believe in learning from the student. Reciprocal leadership is my goal.
