## What Jamie wrote

This genius and butterfly analogy is new, but the concept here I think is absolutely spot on. When you build successful teams you need a wide variety of skills and approaches.

> The lesson here is to hire both types of people. Know that it’s the Geniuses who innovate, but it’s the Butterflies who spread that innovation around. Both components are required for successfully implementing new, brilliant ideas.
