The right people on the bus
When investing, it’s critical to look beyond the idea and the numbers. The leadership team matters most.
Strategy will change. Markets will change. But a strong leadership team determines whether a company adapts—or stalls.
In Good to Great, Jim Collins puts it simply: “First who, then what.”
Get the right people on the bus, in the right seats, and the wrong people off the bus before deciding where to drive.
Great leaders:
- Attract talent better than capital ever could
- Make hard decisions early
- Create clarity, focus, and execution under pressure
For investors, this is decisive.
Teams build companies. Everything else is secondary.
