The art, I think, in hiring and managing is how to build useful things even when you can't rely on everyone intrinsically caring and being self-driven. If you wait to find a dozen, fifty, a hundred people who care, you might miss out on a lot of opportunities.

That's how most big companies work. Their processes are designed for average people who do average work. It works well for them but personally I find such an environment depressing.

Even if you have above-average people you likely won't get consistent above-average caring.
