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?

Assuming the employer = company's head,
I think he may be lucky if the employees are trustworthy people otherwise they could outsmart him, cheat and take advantage of the company.
Companies heads need to be ahead of their employees to be able to guide and use them to run the companies properly. The problem is that a lot of people don't really deserve to be companies heads so they look for people who are ahead of them to manage, which should not be so as such employees will become the actual heads and control/use the employer. The head needs to understand the business well and be fully in charge of his company.

getting a good job is a challenge and getting an honest employee is a bigger challenge
In my 16 years of service - I have seen people coming and going being dishonest to the company
But hiring smarter people is a good option but have a back up as well
