How a president should choose his leadership team:
1 - Lay out objectives
2 - We're actually wired to make the wrong people choices
3 - Need at least one person who can tell you what you don't want to hear
4 - Balance is a crucial aspect
5 - Don't hire people just because they're smart
6 - Can't spend all your time managing people
Questions to ask:
1 - Do I have people with whom I can simply be myself?
2 - Among my circle of friends, who are my personal heroes or role models?
3 - Who helps me see my relationships, mission in life, and self-image more clearly?
4 - Who encourages me in a genuine way through praise and nurturing?
5 - Who teases me into gaining a new perspective when I am too preoccupied or tied up in myself?
