I would guess that if/when I start hiring people, it would inevitably
turn out to be a star company. Me being the star that is. This is
something that I have been a bit worried about. I think the best
leadership is the one built on meritocracy, but if you have a company
where one person has too much merit, its easy to have that person
outshine everyone else, and that's not a good way to get the best out
of people. A good company is a company where everybody is a star, but
in their own way, not trying to emulate someone else.
I have built EVERYTHING in Love, so the assumption would be that I
know best, but getting someone else to argue with me, and put up a
fight might just be what i need, for that very reason. But it would be
hard for any reasonable person to come in and argue they know better
then me, even if they do.
I remember Brian hook said that when working with Carmack, he couldn't
do what he wanted because he felt it would be like "bitching to
Michael Jordan for not passing the ball"
