“At Google, we front-load our people investment.“If you’re hiring people who are better than yourself, most other people issues tend to sort themselves out.”.A good rule of thumb is to hire only people who are better than you. “Before you start recruiting, decide what attributes you want and define as a group what great looks like.Like, write some code, explain this thing, right? Not look at your resume, but really see what you can do.” “We do our interviewing based on really testing your skills.Unstructured interviews have an r-squared of 0.14, meaning that they explain only 14 percent of an employee’s performance.The best predictor of how someone will perform in a job is a work sample test (29 percent).The second-best predictors of performance are tests of general cognitive ability (26 percent).” “Typical, unstructured job interviews were pretty bad at predicting how someone would perform once hired.“There’s no correlation between fluid intelligence (which is predictive of job performance) and insight problems like brainteasers.”.“There have been volumes written about how ‘the first five minutes’ of an interview are what really matter, describing how interviewers make initial assessments and spend the rest of the interview working to confirm those assessments…Psychologists call this confirmation bias, ‘the tendency to search for, interpret, or prioritize information in a way that confirms one’s beliefs or hypotheses.’”.firms were mystified that we’d prefer hiring someone who was clever and curious over someone who actually knew what he was doing.” “We wanted to hire ‘smart generalists’ rather than experts.“Our single greatest constraint on growth has always, always been our ability to find great people.”.“The man who does not get a certain satisfaction out of his day’s work is losing the best part of his pay.” -Henry Ford.As a manager, your job is to help your people find that meaning.” “Whatever you’re doing, it matters to someone.“It is within anyone’s grasp to be the founder and culture-creator of their own team, whether you are the first employee or joining a company that has existed for decades.”.Machines do their jobs owners do whatever is needed to make their companies and teams successful.” “All it takes is a belief that people are fundamentally good-and enough courage to treat your people like owners instead of machines.“As Larry (Page) often says: If your goals are ambitious and crazy enough, even failure will be a pretty good achievement.”.“We’ve found that trusting people to do the right thing generally results in them doing the right thing.”.“Managers serve the team.” -Eric Schmidt.“Leaders who build the right kind of environments will be magnets for the most talented people on the planet.”.
