The buzz: “You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world … but it requires people to make the dream a reality” (Walt Disney). Hiring the right people is important for any business, especially for a startup. When your money is tight and credibility has yet to be established, the lack of resources and recognition can make it difficult to attract and retain the best and brightest. The bottom line: a wrong hire can set your business back months or years and even prevent you from taking off altogether. The experts speak. Ted West, BOHH Labs: “Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction” (Warren Buffett). Patrick Giusti, Point Inside: “Rational thoughts never drive people's creativity the way emotions do” (Neil deGrasse Tyson). Dave Katona, SAP: “I hire people brighter than me and then I get out of their way” (Lee Iacocca). Join us for Critical HR for Startups: Top Talent on a Shoestring Budget.
