“If we always hire people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. If we always hire people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”(David Ogilvy) “Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.” (David Ogilvy)
