To Keep a Company Out of Trouble, There Shouldn’t Be Any “Successful” Employees 1. If you want to ensure that your company doesn’t run into problems due to the actions of one employee, you need to make sure that… no single employee can lead your company to success! 2. Because these are two sides of the same coin – if one employee can influence the entire company’s results, it can be either in a positive or a negative way. 3. Success should not be achieved by individual employees, but by the organization as a whole. And the same organization should know how to “absorb” the underperformance of any particular employee.

4. Yes, it immediately brings to mind the excellent book and film Moneyball, which in Russian was poorly titled The Man Who Changed Everything – a title that completely contradicts the main idea of the book. After all, this is the story of how a baseball team’s coach achieved outstanding success by assembling a team not of stars but of average players who complemented each other well. 5. By searching for stars for your team, as a founder, you are making your startup’s success dependent on the actions of individuals. These individuals can fail just as easily as they can achieve something great. Moreover, one person cannot be successful all the time, and they might even quit. 6. Your job as a founder is not to hire stars but to create a star system of business processes within the company.
