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?
Why not? Having smarter employee makes the employer's work easier. In a business, the employer-employee relationship should be learning from one another. So having a smarter employee means more growth to the employers' wisdom. Thus, it can have a good effect to his business.
What are the possible intentions behind doing this?
Business boom? As I said having smarter employees can bring new innovations to the table which can lead to a path of business improvements and progress.
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?
Lol, if the employee is smarter than the employer, it means the employee has more knowledge to offer than the employer thus it is impossible for the employee to steal known knowledge from the employer besides, employees are bonded with an agreement. And
the wicked employee is very different from
smarter employee. Because smarter employees will think of the consequences if they stole the ideas and methods of their boss. Besides, those employees that stole client details and steal ideas from the company he is recently employed for are called wicked one.
