"Never, ever let a 10x'er leave your company.

That means frequent promotions, friction around it, and not topping them.
They need constant opportunities to grow.
Or they will leave."

"All 10x'ers push the pace. They push everyone around them to move faster.
They also tend to be 'Yes And ...' people, not 'No But ...'
They don't have rose-colored glasses, but they create a positive energy around them.
They find what's good in other people, and build on top"

"If you can hire a 10x'er, that probably means they are >less< experienced than you.
If they are more experienced than you, they probably won't actually want to work for you.
You have to hire people not universally recognized as a 10x'er.
They may not ever know themselves."

"Your VC's may not appreciate your 10x'ers as 10x'ers because they don't have the resume. They may just be a few years out of school.
You may have to hire them even when your investors strongly disagree."
