Ryan Deiss argues that telling companies to "just hire A players" is useless advice. Instead, build a systemized organization that A players actually want to join, one where high performers can succeed even when things aren't perfect.
I just hate the just hire a players advice. It's just such fortune cookie wisdom. It's like, just make sure that you marry the right person. Okay, fine, but like, how do I do that? And the answer is, you become the kind of person that the person who you want to marry wants to marry to. And the same is true for business. If you want to hire a players, become the kind of company that a players want to work for. What do a players want to work for? They want to work for companies that are well systemized, where they could succeed even if they're not perfect. You're going to get all the A players and more.
