Many books really, mainly those by Marcus Buckingham (First Break all The
Rules, Now Discover Your Strengths,...), but Seth Godin hammers that home in
Linchpin too.

If you need brain surgery, Seth explains, you want a brain surgeon who is
the last word in brain surgery. You don't really give a flying flip if her
grammar sucks, or she can't drive, or has terrible hair. The one thing that
matters is that she can fix your problem as if it were never there. You
could learn to live with everything else.
