Hiring an
Elite Team Thoughts and Observations
Don't be afraid to hire people who are brighter
than you.
Harder done than said. You need a lot of confidence to do this. Hiring someone
who will challenge you on every level and may later go on to build a business
much more successful than yours is hard.
Hire athletic types.
They like to win, have energy, and can endure more than others to be successful.

Take the time you need.
Hiring is critical. Take the time to interview a lot of candidates. Spend a lot
of face-to-face time with the candidates on your short list. Do real reference
checks. Interviewing a ton of smart

you need to find the RIGHT person for the slot. |
