Based on the feedback I got on this topic last week, I've revised the title of the series and the topics we are going to cover.
The series will be called People. Human Capital is a turnoff. Businesses are all about people. And people aren't capital.
I've added posts on retention and asking someone to leave the company.
So here is the schedule of posts:
– The importance of culture and fit when hiring
– Where to find strong talent
– Optimal headcount at various stages
– Best hiring practices
– Retention
– Asking somone to leave your company
– How to leverage your partners (including your investors) in building and managing a team.
We also have lined up guest posts from Donna White, Dr Dana, Angela Baldonero, Susan Loh, and Chad Dickerson.
Should be a great series. I am looking forward to writing and reading it. It will go on for the next three months.
