RANT: Hire on Attitude not Skill: Utter BS! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Apr 27, 2021

We have all heard it, hire on attitude not skill, skills can be taught and attitude can't. In this episode Rob challenges that notion and calls BS!

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • People who say that attitude can't be taught aren't teaching attitude. Attitude is culture, passion and energy. It's your responsibility to create this as an employer, you need to cultivate the right environment.

  • Often great talent knows they are great and so they come with a bit of a chip on their shoulder. They may have some arrogance which might rub people up the wrong way but don't you need to have a designer who can go against the grain and a financial advisor who is going to say it how it is?

  • We all have flaws. You can't have a perfect person who doesn't have flaws and it's about embracing these. A team is a collective of individuals and you need variety to make a great workforce.

 

BEST MOMENTS

“I'd rather hire a brilliant coder who is grumpy, obnoxious, needs a crate of red bull every day and needs to be put in a corner away from human beings so they can go and code like a genius"

"It's short sighted for people to say hire on attitude and not skills"
