Guy Kawasaki on Hiring
January 4th, 2006 by Mark Ramm
This afternoon I attended an on-line seminar by Guy Kawasaki, where he promoted the idea that every company ought to think of itself as a startup. In the midst of a lot of other good stuff, I found some very good hiring advice:
Hire the infected Ignore the irrelevant Hire better than yourself
In other words you should hire people who believe in what you do. If necessary hire somebody without the proper experience, or education — instead look only for the skills and belief that you really need. Find people with skills you don’t have, who can create things you never dreamed of. Hire people that are smarter and more interesting than you are. Lots of people talk about hiring people that are better than you, but can let go of their ego for long enough to actually do it.
