“you really have three choices as a manager. First, you can hire winners. They are hard to find and they cost money. Or, second, if you can’t find a winner, you can hire someone with the potential to be a winner. Then you systematically help that person become a winner. “If you are not willing to do either of the first two—and I am continually amazed at the number of managers who won’t spend the money to hire a winner or take the time to develop someone to become a winner—then there is only the third choice left: prayer.”
