一流は一流を雇うが、二流は三流を雇う。日本型劣化構造を的確に言い表している
"First-rate people hire first-rate people; second-rate people hire third-rate people."（一流は一流を雇うが、二流は三流を雇う）
Leo Rosten
そして三流は五流を雇う
'Andre Weil suggested that there is a logarithmic law at work: first-rate people attract other first-rate people, but second-rate people
tend to hire third-raters, and third-rate people hire fifth-raters. If a dean or a president is genuinely interested in building and maintaining
a high-quality university (and some of them are), then he must not grant complete self-determination to a second-rate department;
he must, instead, use his administrative powers to intervene and set things right. That's one of the proper functions of deans and
presidents, and pity the poor university in which a large proportion of both the faculty and the administration are second-raters; it is
doomed to diverge to minus infinity.
Paul Richard Halmos
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It's not about money. It's about the people you have, how you're led, and how much you get it.
Steve Jobs
一名の有能は、50名の平均的な凡人、もしくはどれだけ凡人を集めても代えがたい
I found that there were these incredibly great people at doing certain things, and that you couldn't replace one of these people with 50 average people. They could just do things that no number of average people could do.
Steve Jobs
凡人の集団をいくらかき集めても、少数の有能には叶わないし、凡人はさらに世代を重ねるごとに劣化し自身が無能であることさえ気づけ無いほどに劣化した無能の極となる
