LinkUP Thursday: New on LinkedIn Influencers’ “How I Hire” Series

"Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail"

~~George Bernard Shaw

Good Morning Folks,

The secret to our success at FSO is that we zig while all of our competitors are out zagging. 

We don't do things because "that's the way it's always been done" nor listen to people who laugh off new ideas with a 'that will never work." 

At FSO, integral to our core values is "Believe It. Deliver It." (re)IMAGINE it! WE (re)IMAGINE possibilities and be ahead of the curve. We embrace change and innovation with open arms. We never accept the status quo and take pride in out-of-the-box thinking and execution. And in that spirit we hope you take up on some of today's advice.

So while others "throw back" Thursday, we move forward by Linking you up to future success.

With that in mind, his week is chock-full of knowledge you won’t find anywhere else! LinkedIn has curated a one of a kind feed for you: "How I Hire", featuring stories from over 80 CEOs, thought leaders and more on how they choose their next team member. 

From LinkedIn Today Editor Francesca Levy: “For those seeking a job, the rigorous application and interview process can be harrowing. But spare some sympathy for the hiring managers. Sifting through resumes and coaxing out revealing insights in interviews is its own exhausting grind. And what’s at stake is a company’s most important asset: its talent. More than 80 of LinkedIn’s Influencers — thought leaders and experts across industries who write original content for LinkedIn — had lots to say about this topic.”  Some of my favorites:

How I Hire: You Can't Build a Team With All Point Guards 

How I Hire: Sell Me a Pen. Now

How I Hire: There Is No Lone Genius; Hire a Team With these Four Types

How I Hire: You're Not Interviewing For the Job You Think You Are

How I Hire: 6 Ways I Find and Hire Hardworking Millennials

Behold the power of the Internet. Those of us on the senior leadership team were thinking about how life would have changed had we had this type of access to mentorship back in the day.

Have a GREAT day as I look forward to seeing all of you soon.
