BRX Pro Tip: Hire People Smarter Than You
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tip. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you this afternoon. Lee, this is one that has certainly paid tremendous dividends for us, hire people smarter than you.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:14] Yeah. You have to hire people who are smarter than you. And that should be kind of on the forefront of whenever you’re looking to add team members or to add partners or to add collaborators. These people have to be able to push you and they have to be better at whatever they’re offering than you are or anybody on your team is if you want your company to grow and become great.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:38] If you are the best there is in your company, then you are the ceiling. Then that’s as good as it’s going to get and it’s going to be hard to grow and hard to become great. So you have to constantly be looking for folks that are better than you, that can raise the bar for everybody in your organization and really push the organization into areas that you may not yourself be comfortable with today but that might be what is needed for tomorrow.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:03] So, always look around whenever you have a challenge or you’re struggling with something. Find the best in class that you can afford to help you move the ball and then raise the bar. And always – so always look for people smarter than you if you want your company ultimately to become as great as it can be.
