Why Good Companies Go Bad

change?  Because they insist on doing 'only' what has
worked in the past." by Donald N. Sull

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

I studied the lives of great men and famous women, 
and I found that the men and women who got to the top
were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with 
everything they had of energy and enthusiasm. 

		~Henry Truman~ 

(Thanks to the Famous Bill Austin )

 Hire Smart, and the Investors Will Come
__________________________________________________________

 by Terri Robinson

With the abundance of qualified candidates in today's
market, it would seem that finding great hires would be
a snap. But that very abundance could cause you to miss
out on the best person for your job. 

How likely are you to keep reviewing resumes when you
have found someone that "looks like" a good fit, and
you have already seen over 100 resumes?

Probably not very likely!  But the 150th resume might
be your ideal fit for the job - the one that could
ensure the success of your bid for venture capital.

How important is your management team when you are trying 
to find funding? 

The Profit Dynamics Inc. 1999 Venture Capital Survey 
( http://www.capital-connection.com ) asked over 450 
venture capitalists what they looked for when 
choosing companies to invest in. In answer to the question 
"How do you define quality management? " 83% of the Venture
Capitalists include successful experience or proven track 
record in their response. One respondent says "Without an
experienced CEO, they should lower the price they expect 
for their stock, because the venture capitalist views the 
risk as higher." 

Three years later, in the 2002 Survey, quality of 
management was emphasized by the VCs to the extent that 
7 out of 10 gave it a rating of "5", and nearly 9 out of
10 gave it at a 4 or 5 (with a rating of 5 being the 
most important, and 1 being the least important).


No other factor came close in importance. 


So, how do you go about finding your management team? 
You can advertise in the local newspapers, but be prepared 
to be deluged with resumes from both qualified and 
unqualified job seekers.  One company received over
800 resumes for one job opening.

If you decide to hire a third party to be your partner
in your search, you should understand the difference 
between staffing agencies who "have candidate databases 
and 'sell' those to you" and recruiters/headhunters 
that "analyze YOUR needs, conduct a personal search 
based on those needs, pre-screens and sends only the
most qualified few candidates to you for approval, 
and helps you negotiate the best deal with the person." 

Your company's success depends on who you hire!

Stop being late to work

Tom had this problem of getting up late in the morning 
and was always late for work. His boss was mad at him 
and threatened to fire him if he didn't do something 
about it. So Tom went to his doctor who gave him a 
pill and told him to take it before he went to bed. 
Tom slept well and in fact beat the alarm in the 
morning by almost two hours. He had a leisurely 
breakfast and drove cheerfully to work.

"Boss", he said, " The pill actually worked!"

"That's all fine" said the boss, " But where were 
you yesterday?"
