Avoid cloning yourself when hiring

April 13, 2014

Remember Dolly the Sheep? In 1996, she was the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. Cloning is rare in the animal world, but in the business world—well, it’s all too common.

In fact, one of the top hiring mistakes is to hire someone just like you. That’s because we’re drawn to people who are similar to ourselves. And left to our own subjective methods, we tend to hire people who are just like us.

Assembling a strong team means you need ALL KINDS of the right players, not lots of “Little Dollys” running around.

The next time you hire someone, avoid relying on your gut or intuition. Instead, use assessments to identify the skills and talents you need. The difference is “unbaaaaa-lievable”!
