Hire only A-Players

A-Players are defined by their obsessive drive to learn and deliver results. They are coachable, actively seek feedback, and consistently improve their skills. Unlike B-Players (trainable newcomers) or C-Players (average performers), A-Players are exceptional at their role and deeply believe in the company's mission. They take full ownership of mistakes, don't make excuses, and transform criticism into growth.

Companies seeking excellence must exclusively hire and retain A-Players, as mixing in C-Players can poison team culture and performance standards.
