employing someone

Read a book about Starbucks coffee that day. Its about the growth of Starbucks from scratch. Abut the owner CEO Donald Strulz. There's a line that i would like to qoute inside. It says "never be afraid to employ someone thats more capable than you, and afraid that he will outshine you in all aspect of work"
Then with this line, i started to think "am i afraid that my subordinates will be stronger and smarter than me??" i am afraid no, however i will be affected. As this will show imcompetency of me. In many case of the work, there are bound to be people that are just more smarter and more competent than you. Its just that they are not that lucky or perhaps its just not their time yet. So you are the guide to their light. Nevertheless i have heard stories, about people due to jealousy, took credit for all those people do, and make it theirs. Not to say that there's also instances when people will also kill these smarter people for being smart. Its comes to a stage whne the company or organisation will not improve due to these bunch of senile and unflexible people who in the whole day trying to earn credit for what they did not do. For those who are hardworking and slogged throughout the night for his work, ended up someone elses table, becoming other people's points.
In one way that, these people sits up the position of this arseholes, they will take sweet revenge on these up and coming youngster, destroying their briliant and innnovative thinking.
Why cant we throw away these old and loser thinking into the trashbin where it belongs??
I believe in teamwork. When a team is being put up for a reason, individuals long and shortcomings, to complement each other. Thats the way, it should be doesnt it?? why would i want to form a team thats similiar in character??
So to end these, i will qoute this by Donald Strulz " well i have employed you because you are smarter than me. Well now go and show me." SO are you ready to show people what you are made of?? =)
