A Quote by Woody Allen

Usually, you hire people that you think are wonderful. — © Woody Allen
Usually, you hire people that you think are wonderful.
I think great bosses hire great people. 'A' people hire 'A' people, but 'B' people hire 'C' people; they're worried they might be shown up... they're concerned that that person might make them look bad.
It's illegal to hire or fire anybody because of their race, appearance, or sexual orientation, but in Hollywood, ironically, it's the reason people will hire or not hire you.
Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players. But others hire below their skills to make themselves look good. So B players hire C players. C players hire D players, etc.
There are very few black-and-white truths in management or in business, but one that I have found is that people either hire people who are smarter than them, or people hire people they can control.
The most important thing is that you hire people who complement you and are better than you in specific areas. Good people hire people better than themselves. So A players hire A+ players.
A lot of people don't want to hire disabled actors. They think you're going to take twice as long over a shot, or they don't want have to put up a ramp for disabled access. They think, 'Why would I do that when I can just hire an able-bodied actor to play the disabled character?'
If the economy is still going forward, even at 40 miles an hour, 50 miles an hour, I think most people will stick with President Obama. I think people look at politics like they hire a plumber. I hire you to fix the bad pipe. If you fix it, I'll rehire you. If you don't fix it, I'm not going to rehire you.
If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur.
The great thing about David Poile and Nashville is they believe in the people that they hire and they stick with the people that they hire.
If you own a butcher shop, don't hire vegetarians. To hire the right people, you have to let the wrong people go.
I think there's something so wonderful about being part of the process from the seed of the idea to seeing it come to life on a screen. And to have a hand in that creatively, not just showing up as an actor for hire.
... you can think about that for everyone you hire: will I bet the future of this company on this single hire? And that's a tough bar.
That's the point. Every kind of animal thinks its own kind of animal is wonderful. So people getting married think they're wonderful, and that they're going to have a baby-- that's wonderful, when actually they're as ugly as rhinoceroses. Just because we think we're so wonderful doesn't mean we really are. We could be really terrible animals and just never admit it because it would hurt so much.
I’d rather interview 50 people and not hire anyone than hire the wrong person.
I hire a lot of hosts, reporters, producers, and I hire people who care about the news.
You'll have to hire people to expand your business. But it's a good discipline to really question if you need each and every hire.
