My first attempt at fiction:
Imagine you are 27 years old. And your fiance ditched you. You are distraught. You don't have much of an academic background. You don't know what to do professionally. Nor do you want to get married again.
A kind gentleman in his 50s approaches you and explains that you currently have nothing to look forward to. He gives you a proposal. How about joining in his mission to create the best educational institution. You don't have anything else on your plate. What the man said was enthralling. What choices did you have anyway? So you hooked up with him and started a school.
Years have passed.
You now have a purpose in life and you feel fulfilled.

What did the man get from you? An energetic, passionate dog, loyal for life. You would think nothing of perjuring for his sake. (How the cartoon would love such recruits!! Instead he has Rod Rosenstein, Michael Cohen.)
Win win for both, no?
Like a friend used to tell me, you should recruit for attitude, train for skills. Occasionally the lack of deep talent would result in gaffs. But attitude trumps talent.
Corollary:
If you are a passionate and loyal person, identify an Enneagram 8 to hitch your wagon to, even if you are kinda short on the talent department.
