The smartest thing I ever did was to hire my weakness. – Sara Blakely
Do you know your strengths? Not in a narcissistic way, but in a humble acknowledgement of where your skills and interests are. In both your professional and personal life, can you identify what you do well?  
Do you know your weaknesses? What are those areas that cause you heartburn? These aren’t just things you don’t like to do . . . these are the things that you simply don’t have the skills to match your expectations or needs.
Popular people surround themselves with people who think and act like themselves. Successful people surround themselves with people who complement and challenge them. It is easy to be popular with “yes people” around you. You are more likely to be successful with a diverse, thoughtful team around you.
Hire people who share your core values, but not your core skills. Surround yourself with people of character and heart that will supplement your expertise and engage your passions. We are much stronger when we are aligned in our mission and diverse in our skills and processes.
