How to hire like Warren Buffett...
Warren Buffett has said that when he is looking at his leaders for companies, he evaluates three categories of characteristics:
-- Intelligence
-- Energy
-- Integrity
His fundamental belief is that if a person has 2 of these, the lack of the third can kill a business. Do the fast math on the negative side of the equation:
-- Low integrity, high energy and high intelligence and you have a smart, fast-moving thief.
-- Low energy, high intelligence and integrity and you have a shop keeper, not an engine of growth
-- Low intelligence, high energy and integrity and you have strong functionary, but not a great problem solver or visionary
As you look at potential hires, how are you assessing these three categories of characteristics? Behavioral questions are good and standardized tests can be insightful. I like both and use both in my selection processes. In addition, I like exercises and assignments in interviews to provide a clearer picture.
