I disagree with this phrase, hiring the right people in the right place is a very vital & critical task to be done; but it’s NOT more important than developing a strategy, because even if you have the right people, but with a weak strategy; you’ll be going nowhere & maybe with the time they’ll feel like there’re no results because of certain disqualification in them, Vice versa: if you have a perfect strategy but didn’t put people in positions according to their unique qualifications; then it’s like you’re handing the scalpel of a surgeon in the hand of a barber to make a surgery!!

It depends on your viewopint about strategy. if you consider to plan a strategy in whole of company in a3-5 years time frame, then planning to get the right people can be considered as a part of strategy to achieve the targets and objectives.
A real dream team is able to work together a strategy that nothing compares. But the challenge is to get right people with right skills to the dream team.
What I can conclude here is, there must be interrelated between strategy and the right people instead of just getting the right people for the right jobs.
For example. from developing a strategy, the company will reduce the risk of choosing the wrong person to assign task or job according to the company needs.
In my experience if you have the right people for the job even if you have a weak strategy, the job will be done. because people we call right one for the job are who follow the correct pattern of assembling the project. In my experience as an architect, in the current project which i am taking management right now, the professional people know what to do even if your strategy stays behind the calender.
I had a bad experience with strategy vs. people. I would never start anything up without a smart strategy. People come with it. Sometimes it could be like you set out for a journey in the mountains and hire yourself a museum guide. heh. however, you need the right people to develop a neat strategy. so, what was the first: the egg or the hen? :)
