This sentence is one of those that causes me headaches:

“... one of the early things I would do, probably before I even got in — and I wouldn’t even use — you know, I have — I know the smartest negotiators in the world. I know the good ones. I know the bad ones. I know the overrated ones.”

I was never great at diagramming sentences. I did always score at the top of my class on reading comprehension. I have absolutely no idea what this sentence is about.

He is telling you that he is able to delegate tasks to those best able to handle them, and expects you to assume that he will do exactly that.
