Hiring People Who Are Smarter Than You

Many people claim to hire people who are smarter than themselves; but what is the consequence of doing so? It is that they will be right more often than you are. So if you find yourself shooting down their ideas or correcting them,
  1. You didn't give them the information they needed
  2. This is one of the rare cases where you are right and they are wrong
  3. You are wrong and don't realize it, because they are smarter
