The most important thing I've learned is that the team you build is the company you build. And I think most people intellectually agree with that, but they don't actually act on it. They settle. They hire people who are 'good enough' because the role needs to be filled, and then they wonder why the company doesn't perform the way they hoped.
The most important signal that I look for is: are the best people in the world trying to work for us? And are we retaining the best people in the world? Because if we are, we're going to be okay. If we aren't, we have a problem.
