When you go to hire someone, you are selecting someone that fits that role perfectly. As my team was growing and bringing in people from other parts of the organization, teams were coming together, that choice of who to put in a specific role wasn't always my choice. And I belabored that path of developing the person to be the same level of fit that I would have chosen if I hired them myself. Only after working with Bill that I realized my actual job was to understand where that person wanted to go with their career.
