Hiring #1: Keep talented people who care passionately
People are the biggest asset in your company. Surround yourself with people who are
- TALENTED - can do their job function better than you can do it, and
- PASSIONATE - deeply care about the company and the customers
Teach yourself how to filter out people who are motivated to work for 10 hours, but you sigh at their work, or the ones that generate a wow from you, but don't work enough. Ask fun hypothetical scenario questions in interview to judge.
