Do’s and Don’ts of Entrepreneurship
Author: Brian Wynne Williams26 Jan
Will lists Martin Plaehn’s Quick Hits: Do’s and Don’ts of Entrepreneurship. There are eight of each, all good, but the top three don’ts are worth repeating:
- Don’t hire of goodness of heart or friendship
- Don’t hire anyone who you and your team are not genuinely excited about
- Don’t tolerated mediocre engineers; for that matter, mediocre anyone. An early sign of mediocrity is when you downgrade tasks and expectations to align with an employee
Good advice. Thanks to Brad for the link.
