Elon Musk says
“Talent is extremely important. It’s like a sports team, the team that has the best individual player will often win but then there’s a multiplier from how those players work together and the strategy they employ.”
“Smart people are a dime a dozen and often don’t amount to much. What counts is being creative and imaginative.”
“I'd rather interview fifty people and not hire anyone than hire the wrong person.”
“I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it.”
“What I knew from working in professional environments—from recruiting new lawyers for Sidley & Austin to hiring staff at the White House—is that sameness breeds more sameness, until you make a thoughtful effort to counteract it.”
