"And remember that A players can recruit other A players, but B players can only recruit C players"

In point one they list this. In point 3 he mentions his biggest mistake was hiring someone with starpower from a public company who didn't work.

Unless the founder is an A player in terms of recruiting everyone hired would be a C player or less. And in point 3 we learn he is not an A player.

How do B players ever get hired?
