Warren Buffett is a firm believer in hiring the right people. He famously stated, "Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don't have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it, it's true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy." That's a great quote worth dissecting further. The Oracle of Omaha places the highest value on integrity because he believes that without it, intelligence and energy can be misguided and even harmful.
