🤝 How to hire like Warren Buffett
How Buffett makes his biggest hiring decisions


Warren Buffett has one simple hiring rule for finding elite talent.
Here’s how it works…
When you meet someone new, you can make some quick assumptions about them:
📉 2-10% can appear below average
đź“Š 80% can appear decent or common
🚀 2-10% clearly stand out as exceptional
Buffett’s secret?
Hold out for the exceptional talent.

Overwhelmed With Client Work?
Ready to escape the grind? We’ve helped 800+ agency owners reclaim their time by placing a Fractional COO into their business. Book a free call to uncover what’s keeping you trapped & finally remove yourself from client servicing.

At all levels, he doesn’t even bother with the talent he’s somewhat sure of.
When scouting talent, if he isn’t completely certain someone is elite, he doesn’t hire them.
The cost of a bad hire is far greater than the upside of a decent one…
So, if you want an A+ team, don’t settle for B or C hires.
