“Always be smarter than the people who hire you.”
“Always be smarter than those who hire you”
“When you hire people that are smarter than you are, you prove you are smarter than they are.”
“Hire people who are smarter than you are—whose talents surpass yours—and give them opportunities for growth. It's the smart thing to do and it is a sign of high personal humility.”
“I’m not smarter than you, I’m more knowledgeable than you, and that’s only because I’m older than you. Parents are always more knowledgeable than their children, and children are always smarter than their parents.”
“Dealing with one who feels smarter than you,let him assume that you ain't smarter than him.”
