Bill Gates: Lazy People Are The Best Employees

BILL GATES: LAZY PEOPLE ARE THE BEST EMPLOYEES

DISCOVER WHY LAZINESS CAN BE THE KEY TO PRODUCTIVITY, SPEED AND EFFICIENCY

ABOUT THIS BOOK

Why does Bill Gates hire lazy people? Because he knows that if you hire smart but lazy people, they’ll find a way to get the job done faster.

In an interview with CNBC, Bill Gates said that he hires “lazy” employees at Microsoft because they are more efficient than their more “energetic” co-workers.

Gates explained: "I choose a lazy person to do a hard job. Because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it."
