Unfortunately, as you hire more people, the casual, informal 'do what it takes' culture, which worked so well at less than 40 people, becomes chaotic and less effective.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have always hired people of different ages. Young people and older people. People in their 70s and in their 20s. People who are fully capable of talking back to me.
I have a staff of 12 people, so it's easy for them to handle all the management and the day to day at the company while I'm directing.
Hire passionate employees.
When I started in the business years ago, people would always say, 'You better get as much work as you can now, because once you get over 40, it's over.'
We have to hire, retain, and develop the best staff.
Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.
In addition we also hire many senior citizens.
Today I have 35 people who work in the club and associated businesses.
If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like.
We need people who can actually do things. We have too many bosses and too few workers.
