Richard Branson on Hiring the Best

Someone once told me that ‘employing one good person is equivalent to hiring 3 average people‘.  I’ve worked on that principle ever since, and it’s proven itself over and over again.

So it’s encouraging to read that Richard Branson shares this among other sentiments expressed in the article entitled Hiring the Best which appeared in BRW magazine, page 16 of the 25 Nov – 1 Dec 2010 edition.

Now, if people really are your most important asset, and the best are worth so much more than the average, are you prepared to pay them what they’re worth?
