You repeatedly state that it's mostly luck. A poker tournament.
At the same time you believe some marketers are better than others and want to hire the good ones.
So it must be mostly skill. But you said business success is luck. Hire random people as marketers, random people as programmers. It doesn't matter if they have skill since it's all luck anyway.
It need not be mutually exclusive. For instance, poker tournament isn't quite like a game of roulettes, there is skill involved, and there is luck involved.
At any given time, the proportion of skill/luck can wildly fluctuate and is not know until a result is observed.
so while I recognize I need skilled people to increase my probability, I am cognizant also of the uncertainty or luck factor.
Is success mostly luck? Or is it mostly skill?
