What matters more — ten high performers, or one leader who knows how to discover and develop high performers?
In this episode of Witlink, we explore the ancient insight from Lüshi Chunqiu — “得十良马，不若得一伯乐,” meaning “Ten fine horses are worth less than one true talent-spotter.”

Drawing from a modern case in a U.S. company, we show how a single manager transformed an entire team not by adding new people, but by seeing the hidden potential already within. We also connect this ancient wisdom with today’s leadership practices — from talent management and assessment centers to internal talent marketplaces.

If you’re a young manager or aspiring leader, this episode will help you recognize potential, build systems that surface talent, and become the kind of leader who elevates others.
