If Only All Companies Were Like Google

Mountview, CA Headquarters

This is a great New York Times article, but don't let the title -- "How to get a job at Google,"-- fool you.

The advice and vision about hiring can translate to any job in any type of business.

"Do you step in and lead. And just as critically, do you step back and stop leading?"
Well, do you?

"Do you embrace the better ideas of others?"
Well?

"You need a big ego and small ego in the same person at the same time."
Sounds like a tight squeeze, but perhaps worth a try.

There is a reason these people are successful: there attitude towards hiring is out of the box and unconcerned with whether you were president of the chess club.
