    The extreme human temptation to compromise on hiring (and to fail to confront mistakes) is one of the main entropic forces conspiring to ensure that great companies rarely stay that way.https://twitter.com/collinmathilde/status/1068225791488663552 …

        The single biggest quote, @BillGates’s that’s stuck with me: “The last thing I do is hire someone to do a job, why can’t the current team do this.” Restraint hiring is #1.

        I believe this comes from Patrick’s curiosity to learn how to build companies that stay great over a long enough timeline (and not just successful for a few decades).

        @muneeb what companies in your opinion stayed great over long-run? Seems like it is more about being founder led vs. not being founder led.

        Hiring is hard and despite our best efforts and seemingly constant HR failures... you can’t really know someone until you hire them.

        This is a perfect candidate fallacy. It matters but more important things are values and examples leaders bring to the organization and processes they set in motion.

        I'm not so sure if this is a cause so much as a symptom.
