Know your strengths, your weaknesses.
Go and have the three conversations.
The former boss, the current colleague, the friend that loves you enough to be honest.
You cannot hire to cover a blind spot.
you refuse to look at.
Number two, hire for how someone thinks, not for what they've already done.
The resume tells you where they've been.
It doesn't tell you where they're going.
It doesn't tell you whether they care, whether they take ownership, whether they can adapt when the thing you hired them for actually changes.
And it will change.
Interview for the mind, not for the milestones.
Number three, be willing to be challenged and be willing to pay for it.
The best hire is never the most comfortable one.
It's the person that will tell you you're wrong.
And if you find that person, make it worth their while.
Great talent is the one investment that pays you back every single day.
That's it.
Three things.
Know yourself, hire the thinking and welcome the challenge.
So start exactly there.
