On Hiring

 

An applicant came to me about a job opening in my office. Seeing her efficiency, I told her that I will train her to be my personal assistant. She was very excited while I ran through the job description and my expectations from a PA with her. But wide-eyed shock replaced all that when she heard me say "You have to learn to think like I do ... but eventually, you will have to be smarter than me."

 

My business thrives because I get to talk to a lot of people and help them realize their needs today, and dreams in the future. This means I spend a lot of time away from my desk. My job description requires me to sit through a lot of meetings and brainstorming. So there will be times that I might not be available to do troubleshooting on certain issues in the office. Hence, I need someone reliable to handle these issues effectively in my absence. Will it not be more comforting to know that there is someone smarter in my office doing that for me?
