明迪·格罗斯曼

HSN首席执行官

    早年我在耐克（Nike）工作时，总是抱怨团队中有人表现不佳，我努力改善这种情况。最后，（耐克的共同创始人和董事长）菲尔·奈特对我说：“明迪，你的重点不是如何让普通人变得出色。你需要招聘出色的人。”当今世界，人才对于企业成功至关重要，包括他们的核心竞争力以及他们与企业文化的契合度。组合得好，很可能效果斐然。但前提是要招对人。

Mindy Grossman

CEO of HSN

    When I was at Nike, I was bemoaning the fact that somebody on my team wasn't performing -- and I was trying to get him to perform better. Finally, Phil Knight [Nike co-founder and chairman] said to me, "Mindy, what you really have to focus on is not trying to make ordinary people extraordinary. You need to hire extraordinary people." In today's world, talent is so critical to the success of what you're doing -- their core competencies and how well they fit into your office culture. The combination can be, well, extraordinary. But only if you bring in the right people.
