After close to 30 years on the front lines of hiring, one of the most important pieces of advice I can give is allow yourself time to hire well. This does not mean drawing out the process. It does mean not backing yourself into a corner by waiting until the hiring need is…
"...one quality of a founder that leads to startup failure - their inability to focus on long term success vs short term."

Mercenaries vs Loyalists It's really hard for a company to gain traction when there's high turnover. This is especially an issue in those industries and fields where the people you hire are in high demand by your competitors. The motivations and values of the people you hire…

“I just love doing the work. I love logging the time in, and I love preparing. I love that feeling when everything’s on fire with a chance to win.” --Tiger Woods These words from a recent interview with Tiger Woods jumped out at me because it reminds me of so many of the…
What is the difference between making tradeoffs and settling for less than what is possible? This question could be applied to many types of decisions, but I see it arise in both hiring and career decisions. I'll come back to hiring in a later post, but in the meantime... In…
Great thread on how Jensen Huang's values influence @nvidia's success at a core kevel. Especially liked Value 4: Your company's environment is the product that makes the product. Make the environment a breeding ground for excellence. #values #success #leadership #nvidia

Anytime in my life when I have managed to go from a vision to a reality, the vision has not been a plan but a practice. In other words, what matters is not having a vision, but rather making a habit of returning to and revising the vision. For the big things in my life, I'm…

Ever feel discouraged trying to recruit the right person for a job? Recruiting to fill a job might be the problem. Do you have a clear sense of the difference the person will make once hired? If not, you may unintentionally be sending a flat and ambiguous message to potential…

Success leave clues... I apply this adage to recruiting. Does the person you're hiring for a leadership role have direct reports, past or present, who are raving fans? Are there former team members that will want to join this person at your company? Is there anyone who has…
Cannot be overemphasized. And as one of the commenters stated, a leader combining #IQ and #EQ is unstoppable. I can tell you one thing, it's pretty much unbeatable in attracting the best people to your team. #leadership linkedin.com/posts/donnelly…
One of the things that first attracted me to working with startup founders is their exhilarating desire to change the world. Within the ecosystem is the startup founder who views changing the world as starting with or at least including the quality of the company they create and…
As part of the ongoing quest for more focus I have learned to appreciate the word "no" -- hearing it and saying it. Every time I hear a "no" it helps me close a door and move on toward something more productive or beneficial. Sometimes I take "no" as feedback on what needs to be…
In my experience as a recruiter, the companies with the most thriving teams and successful hiring results have a strong sense of the values guiding the company and prioritize values alignment in their hiring process. This goes beyond a surface-level definition of culture or…
Part of being a successful founder is a commitment to excellence that many won’t understand or even see or perceive To next-level excellence This will create some friction among those without that commitment. Actually, lots of friction.
The impact of 1 truly great hire never ceases to amaze me The impact of 2 truly great hires, sometimes you almost have a brand new company
