Hiring: What winners are made of

Can't remember how long did i take to complete this whole book. On and off, finally completed this month. Generally, the content is resourceful and enlightening. Even though you are not in managerial position, you can benefit from the perspective and ideas given. Based on ex-GE CEO experience, it lists out the tips or strategies to navigate an organization to a winning team. Of course, these are just advices, not a comprehensive bible. When comes to hiring, what do you think the hirers are looking for? There will be "acid tests": integrity, intelligence and maturity. Next they will assess the framework of 4E and 1P, which are having a positive energy, the ability to energize others, the edge (the courage to make tough decisions), execute (ability to get the job done) and finally passion. Hiring for senior level, look for authenticity, foresight, the willingness to draw on others for advice, and resilience.

Looking back and beyond

He/She maybe rich or blessed just because that might be God's plan for him/her to prosper others (who knows). As we gather together, especially during reunion dinner, let's not talk about achievement. Let's encourage each other towards closer understanding and love. We should not bother how others are doing. After all, God does not look into our achievement but how we stay with and follow him. Peter turned around and saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them. (This was the disciple who had leaned back against Jesus' chest at the meal and asked, “Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?”) So when Peter saw him, he asked Jesus, “Lord, what about him?" Jesus replied, “If I want him to live until I come back, what concern is that of yours? You follow me!” (John 21:20-22, NET) Th
