This CEO wants to hire people who are always a little dissatisfied

You develop more perspective and balance over time. I’ve never had a tremendous amount of empathy. I have more empathy today than I did back then. So I was probably harsher than I needed to be when I made decisions about people. Rather than giving people the time to improve, I would instead think that this guy just doesn’t work hard enough, so let’s find somebody else.

Now I have a basic belief that almost everyone wants to contribute and do well. Some people, for a whole variety of reasons, have difficulty doing that, and at least an attempt or two should be made to try to help them.
