Quote: My Biggest Legacy Is the People I've Hired

I am in charge of recruiting. I will have somebody managing the process as we grow; departments do the interviewing, but bottom line, if my people are better than your people I win. College football is a great analogy. Look at the top coaches. They always win because they have the best talent. In college the players pick the team, in the [pros] the teams pick the players. You bet Nick Saban goes on recruiting trips. Don’t for a second be lulled into the notion that you are picking employees. They are picking you and you better be the one they want to pick. You better have an on-boarding process and it better be good. My biggest legacy is the network of people I’ve hired and what they’ve gone on to do.
