What you need to do is inspire people and discern who's going to be the best/ world class/whatever your terms are/ fit for your company.
Because, you're not getting the best VPs. They're taken. They're bored. They're not that good, just got lucky. There's always something.
A good team leader is able to get the best team without having the best individuals.

One of the most depressing lessons of my career when I became CEO was that I could not develop the people who reported to me. The demands of the job made it such that the people who reported to me had to be 99% ready to perform. Unlike when I ran a function or was a general manager, there was no time to develop raw talent. That can and must be done elsewhere in the company, but not at the executive level. If someone needs lots of training, she is below standard."
