If your company’s long-term business plan requires the acquisition, or retention of the uber employee then your business not only has a risk management issue, but it is likely not scalable. Take Google, for example. Talent is clearly a plus as long as it is a value add and not a business requirement.

In this example the hourly rate of a CEO who makes $750k is $375 dollars per hour. For instance, rather than leveraging down to the $100K talent in the example above, if you drive down further to let’s say a $30k individual, you increase your organizational leverage factor by almost another 30%.

These are some examples of why I think values and their purpose is essential to any discussion of vision and mission.
