Jensen Huang on why he rarely fires people and will instead โtorture them into greatnessโ In a conversation with Patrick Collison, Jensen shared his thoughts on firing employees. He said he doesnโt like doing it and rarely does, because he believes in helping people improve. Jensen, who started by cleaning bathrooms, now leads a company and feels that anyone can learn and grow if given the right chance. He doesnโt want to give up on people easily. Jensen joked that heโd rather "torture" people into greatness. What he meant was that he believes in pushing people to their limits because sometimes, success comes just when youโre about to give up. He compares it to a coach who pushes their team hard because they know their players are close to that "Aha!" moment โ the moment when everything clicks. Imagine giving up just before you hit that breakthrough! Jensen doesnโt want that for anyone, so he keeps pushing, helping them get there. His message is clear: greatness doesnโt happen instantly, and sometimes, it takes a little extra effort and support. For Jensen, itโs all about believing in people and giving them the space to grow, even when it seems tough.
