This is sound advice from Brian Bordainick. It was management guru James Collins who found out many years ago that great leaders put people first, before mission, vision and strategy. Such leaders make sure they have the right people on the bus, and in the right seats, and the wrong people off the bus. Hiring slow, firing quickly certainly resonates well with Collins' findings. What helps to ensure company success over decades of time is a leader who cares deeply about people but are tough as nails around results. If you fall short or encounter problems, a CEO like Bordainick will take the time find out what happened and work with you to succeed. But an issue that recurs may simply mean that you don't belong in that company.
