LESSONS FROM HIRING 20 GMs
Over the years I've hired almost two dozen General Managers. 

That's alot of reps in an area where most people might high 2-3. 

That many reps has trained my eyes to look for red flags and green flags during the hiring process.

I pass on my exact filters I'm looking for when hiring a GM so you can speed up your hiring process.

Enjoy!

RYG# 138: Lessons from Hiring 20 GMs

These are times of astounding incivility, harassment, and dismissiveness. 

These acts are based on a posturing of moral superiority, as if mere disagreement denotes an inferior being.

There is a line in Morris West's The Navigator that states: "And that's the terror of the high place and the high man. Is it God he hears or the echo of his own mad shouting?" Hillary Clinton most probably sealed her election defeat with the observation that those who would vote for her opponent were the "deplorables." This time, it was Joe Biden calling Trump supporters "garbage." The arrogance of such statements and such positions is appalling. I'm not taking a political position, but rather a social one: We understandably reject people who feel our opinion is not to be respected but immediately rejected because it originates in some lower intelligence.

But we are mostly filled with hubris. We live in an indeterminate universe, acting as if we understand infinity, light years, and black holes. We know virtually nothing of its origins or nature. (A "big bang" before which there was nothing? "Nothing" has no meaning if there isn't "something" to which to compare it.) When praised for discovering universal laws of the cosmos, Einstein replied, "Yes, but the question is really who made the laws?" 

During a recent scientific journey in Peru's Alto Mayo region in the Amazon rain forest, researchers identified 27 new species of animals and indications of another 48, all previously unknown to science. And, of course, we have very little idea of what lives in the abysmal depths of the great oceans.

We do know that we live on a hunk of rock speeding through a vacuum at 85,000 miles per hour, around an exploding star. Don't tell me you have no faith.

I'm not proselytizing, not suggesting a belief in a deity is required, though I would remind everyone that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. I am suggesting that the arrogant, polarizing behaviors extant in the land are basically caused by low esteem, the fear of trying to confront the unknowable, and the comfort of kidding ourselves that we truly understand the arcane solar systems and galaxies. 

A little humility might go a long way this holiday season, and it just may be developed and instantiated during this time of purported tolerance and forgiveness, of presents given and received, and of church bells ringing and choirs singing, "Joy to the World."

From Maria and me, my friends, whatever your beliefs, in the true spirit underlying it: 

Merry Christmas!

Interns_ A Startup's Path to Growth

Gestire un team aziendale significa più che organizzare risorse: è creare un ambiente dove ogni individuo contribuisce al successo comune. Una leadership forte e inclusiva è la chiave per trasformare un gruppo in una squadra coesa e orientata ai risultati.

L’inclusione è fondamentale per stimolare confronto, creatività e innovazione. Favorire il dialogo costruttivo e valorizzare le unicità dei collaboratori porta a soluzioni originali e maggiore resilienza organizzativa.

Si esplora anche l’engagement e il feedback, elementi cruciali per una gestione efficace. Guidare un team significa valorizzare il potenziale di ciascun membro, bilanciando motivazione e benessere per raggiungere obiettivi sostenibili e duraturi.
