The people who only want more money are precisely the people you don’t want running the show. They will be the first to cut corners, self promote and generally make the workplace a toxic environment.

Money motivated is important, sure, but you also want to find someone who likes solving problems, is a leader and a strategist, is invested in unlocking talent in others that they may not have known they had, has the communication skills to talk both up and down the ladder, and who has enough knowledge in the business to be effective. People like that tend to also take pride and enjoy their work, and often that shines through.
