Get the
Best People

You Can

ne of the most important things I’ve learned is to watch
Owhat people do versus listening to what they say. Sometimes,
judging on what I see them doing, I think people have no idea
what they’ve talked about. It reminds me of a split personality, with
the mouth going one way and everything else going the other way.
One big step toward success is to get the two working in tandem.
You will also find out that it will save you a lot of time and en-
ergy to become solid.
I’ve said before that every new hire is a gamble because you
never know exactly what you’re getting. Some people with great
credentials don’t deliver, and some people with not so great cre-
dentials turn out to be great. There is simply no guarantee when
it comes to people, and watching them in action turns out to be
the proving ground. That’s why on The Apprentice, the candidates
are told they are entering a job interview that will last for months.
