If you hire right people for right job, 80 percent work is done: Lucknow Super Giants owner Sanjiv Goenka

IPL franchise Lucknow Super Giants is "ready for its flight" as the 'Garuda' logo on its aquamarine jersey signifies, said owner Sanjiv Goenka, who believes success depends on "hiring the right people for the right job". The Super Giants on Tuesday unveiled their jersey and theme song with tagline "Ab Apni Bari Hai". Asked what exactly is his mantra of running an IPL franchise, the chairman of RPSG group told PTI: "I run my businesses on a simple principle. Hire the right kind of people for the right job and good execution. "That's 80 percent of the job done. There is 15 percent of strategizing, vision and creating a structure. This is 95 per cent and the remaining five per cent is all about motivating the team."

Goenka is very happy that Gautam Gambhir is the mentor of the team. "A lot of my job became easier when Gautam agreed to my request of being the mentor of this team. I have known him for a long time and I have complete faith in his judgement," Goenka said. While he believes in long-term vision, he is confident that his INR 7000 crore plus investment (highest bid for an IPL team) will pay dividends in the long run. "You know, I have no hesitation in admitting that it is a great investment. The value will only grow as time goes on."
