…if you have the right people on the bus, the problem of how to motivate and manage people largely goes away.

To be rigorous, not ruthless, means that the best people need not worry about their positions and concentrate fully on their work.

No company can grow revenues consistently faster than its ability to get enough of the right people to implement that growth and still become a great company.

Waiting too long before acting is equally unfair to the people who need to get off the bus.

The moment you feel the need to tightly manage someone, you’ve made a hiring mistake.

Letting the wrong people hang around is unfair to all the right people…

Put your best people on your biggest opportunities, not your biggest problems.

…no matter what we achieve, if we don’t spend the vast majority of our time with people we love and respect, we cannot possibly have a great life.

Whether someone is the ‘right person’ has more to do with character traits and innate capabilities than with specific knowledge, background, or skills.

…breakthrough results come about by a series of good decisions, diligently executed and accumulated one on top of another.
