Screening is more important than motivation: How to keep a team motivated after sudden wealth?
The answer lies in screening at the source: "We choose those we genuinely enjoy working with and who are the best at what they do. High integrity is the bottom line, which naturally filters out those driven by quick financial returns."
"People's motivation comes from how much value they can produce, not how much value they can extract from the system." Instead of trying to retain people after they've become rich, it's better to hire only those who won't leave because of the sudden wealth from the beginning.
Jeff's logic is simple: if a top talent stays for money, they will eventually leave for more money.
Only those driven by the problem itself are truly stable.
