I’m a long-suffering fan of the Mets and, I’ve had to deal with the underwhelming leadership of several former Mets managers. It seems we may have a winner with Carlos Mendoza.
The point is that when hiring employees, hire the best people for the job. Never let your ego or standing get in the way of hiring the best candidates available, period. If you’re incompetent and you just want to hire employees who are worse than you, they’re still going to eventually find out that you’re not up to the task.
