He said in his latest book that he used to believe in hiring the best and trusting them, but now he believes in hiring the best and NOT trusting them because he’s seen too many shenanigans over the years. Shenanigans, his word.
That is interesting and something that I did not know.
I think there is a distinction between “trusting” people to be competent (don’t need micromanaging) and “trusting” people to be honest/loyal/non-backstabbing.
I imagine that he still trusts people to be competent when he finds/hires the best, but he is now very careful about good/evil.
