If your mission stands out, you are more likely to be able to
hire people who understand and share your goal; to find managers and executives who are
good leaders and understanding employers; to together agree on a core set of company values that strike a chord with everyone on your team.
But whatever happened in the boardrooms of Apple, his next piece of advice is a valuable one for any
good leader who wants to surround themselves with top talent and retain those skilled workers: «If you want to
hire great
people and want them to stay working for you, you have to let them make a lot of decisions and you have to be run by ideas, and not hierarchy.»
