Seth Godin says that you should be careful who you work for, either as an employee or as a client.

Executives and managers, consider the corollary. If you want to hire and retain people with certain character qualities, talents, and skills, then you and your organization probably need to exhibit those. If you are lacking in some way, join the club. We all are. Character can be developed, and skills can be acquired. Talent? Find someone you trust, who has what you lack, and team up. They need you, too.
