Hiring the Right People

As Entrepreneurs build their organizations and hire key management personnel, what is the hiring philosophy?

Do you hire key management officers specifically for a position or for the company?

While you do need to add specific skills and management experience in your organization, do not lose sight of the future. Entrepreneurs need the support of a strong, complementary management team that not only serves the short term needs of the organization, but also is a valuable resource for leading the company towards fulfilling its Mission.

It is sometimes better to hire the right person for the long term needs of the organization rather than the requirements of an immediate,  specific job description. Be resourceful and create  the appropriate job description for the right person!

Why Hire a Veteran?

On Memorial Day yesterday, we honored all veterans who have sacrificed themselves for giving freedom and liberty to our country and other nations in the world. What could Entrepreneurs do to honor current veterans?

When you hire employees, do you consider veterans? Serving in our armed forces instills discipline, adherence to established processes, teamwork, courage, overcoming adversity and other fine attributes that Entrepreneurs should be seeking from qualified prospects.

Veterans bring with them an intrinsic understanding of how loyalty adds to team proficiency and builds trust in a work environment. For Entrepreneurs looking to make a long-term investment in an employee, veterans often outperform other candidates as proven team players.

Through service, training, and lifestyle, veterans typically have the work ethic that any Entrepreneur would be thrilled to replicate in all of the organization’s employees.

Entrepreneurs should, all things being equal, give preference to veterans who have served our country. You will not be disappointed.

Do the Right Things!

Hire Smarter People (than you are)

Entrepreneurs have to hire people to grow their companies. What kind of management leaders do they hire? Who should they hire?

In order to keep costs down, there might be a tendency to recruit lower-cost managers who might require a lot of supervision. Is this keeping costs down in the long run? Is the Entrepreneur’s time well spent in managing such leaders?

Entrepreneurs should not be afraid to hire people smarter than they are. Hiring smarter people might be tough on the ego and wallet, but in the long run the company will be much better for it. In fact, hiring smarter people will provide the opportunity to not only learn from them, but also allow the Entrepreneur to focus more time and energy on his/her areas of strength.

Do the Right Things!

Consider Hiring a Veteran

After having celebrated Memorial Day remembering all veterans who have sacrificed themselves for giving freedom and liberty to our country and other nations in the world, I was wondering what Entrepreneurs can do for current veterans.

When you hire employees, do you consider veterans? Serving in our armed forces instills discipline, adherence to established processes, teamwork, courage, overcoming adversity and other fine attributes that Entrepreneurs should be seeking from qualified prospects.

I suggest that Entrepreneurs should, all things being equal, give preference to veterans who have served our country. You will not be disappointed.
