The Bozo Explosion

Gelicht uit een artikel op CNET waarin Guy Kawasaki kort de essenties beschrijft van wat hij van Steve Jobs heeft geleerd:

“9. A players hire A+ players
Actually, Steve believed that A players hire A players—that is people who are as good as they are. I refined this slightly—my theory is that A players hire people even better than themselves. It’s clear, though, that B players hire C players so they can feel superior to them, and C players hire D players. If you start hiring B players, expect what Steve called “the bozo explosion” to happen in your organization.”

Ik voelde even de klap-van-herkenning in mijn gezicht toen ik dit las.

  1. En deze dan
    Experts -zoals onderwijskundigen-, and gurus can’t “do” so they “advise.” They can tell you what is wrong with your product, but they cannot make a great one. They can tell you how to sell something, but they cannot sell it themselves. They can tell you how to create great teams, but they only manage a secretary. They can tell you how to teach but they can’t themselves.
