"If you have mediocre people doing mediocre work, you are going to have a mediocre company."
Aren't most people mediocre per definition?
I really hate all this talk about "We want the best of the best!"
Sure you want them, but there aren't enough for all and chances are, if you aren't a really big company, you won't get the few that exist.
You need to shape you company so that you can deliver value to your customers without the need of a few geniuses. Your company should be more than the sum of its (mediocre) employees.
