Limping on Water
Philip Beuth, K.C. Schulberg · 3 highlights
"“Hire as few of the best people available, pay them well, give them equity and autonomy in an ethical company and leave them alone.”"
"We believed we should hire the best people, pay them well, and never have more people than necessary."
"The difference was our commitment to letting our managers manage. Run the station like you own it and, by the way, here is some stock to make you an actual “owner”"
