I forget where but I heard someone suggest that in the hiring process, especially for senior level execs, people get so caught up trying to hire like minded people, but, in reality, you should consider hiring one or two people who see things very differently from you. Sure, it will probably lead to some disagreements, but it will expose you to ideas different from your own which will challenge you to delve deeper into the subject and hopefully produce greater results.<br><br>Thanks for stopping by!

You have to listen to the criticism of those around you. We tend to surround ourselves with people who think like us and generally agree with us– sometimes you need to listen to someone who thinks you're going about it all wrong.

If you only listen to people who will butter you up, well, you end up like so many of the out of touch celebrities and politicians in the world. Don't surround yourself with yes men (or women). Nothing is worse than believing your own hype. Great post!
