What happens here

The speaker strongly advocates for looking for 'potential' and 'character' in individuals rather than just 'experience' when building a team. He gives the example of an employee, Alex, who broke his hand but still came to work and even replaced a broken piece of equipment with his own money, unasked. This demonstrates dedication and initiative. The speaker points out that while experience can bring preconceived notions that limit new approaches, individuals with strong character, drive, and motivation can be taught and will gain experience over time, becoming fundamental to the company's long-term success. He emphasizes that a boss's job is to recognize and foster this superior character.

Goal: Identify and invest in individuals with high potential and strong character for long-term growth.
