People will only do something when it is in their own best interest AND aligns with our values. 

This was a key takeaway for me from the book “What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There” by Marshall Goldsmith. 

We talk a lot about aligning with values when hiring on this show. And almost everyone recognizes the importance but it is so often missed. Why?

First, the disdain that most of us share for hiring. Very few entrepreneurs enjoy the process of interviewing & hiring. But it is the single most important activity that YOU can get good at that will make the biggest impact in your organization. 

Second, the path of least resistance is easy… But it is almost always the wrong path. We must remember that the purpose of the interview is to get to the TRUTH about the person no matter the source. And the truth you need to know is not in skills. It is in positioning and value alignment.
