I was listening to a YouTube video by a famous business man and he was saying that he prefers to hire employees who are smarter than him. Do you agree with this style of working? What are the possible intentions behind doing this? Isn't their fear that these smart employees can steal ideas from office or get client details and then start their own companies? What is your view regarding this?
I think employing smart employees have both positive and negative effect, if you are employing a smart employee, it will definitely boost your business, their are some ideas that the employee will have that will help the company's growth which might increase the profit that the company is making. Also the employee might be trying to be smart just as you said and might be trying to steal. What I think is better is that if you are planning to employ any employee that's smarter than you, then I think it's better you monitor your business well even after employing people, don't leave everything just in the hands of your employees.
