Owners of small and start-up companies tend to recruit staff who think similar to them. This may, however, limit the development of their businesses. Besides education and experience, they should therefore be interested in the personalities of potential employees as well and ensure that their comapanis will have representatives of all the following personalities highlighted by Inc.com.
1. Visionary
Someone must be able to dream and think about the future, lead others away from sinking into bureaucracy and old inefficient practices.
2. Executor
New entrepreneurs also often make the mistake of puting too much focus on their vision and neglecting to put it into practice. Therefore, they need someone to pull them back to the ground and balance the vision with practice.
3. Customer advocate
You will also need someone who will breathe for your customers. He/she should maintain the same level of empathy towards customer needs regardless of how the company develops and grows.
4. Street Fighter
Someone must be sufficiently strong and determined to make the company achieve what it had resolved.
5. Propagator
You should either not lack someone who can scream your story to the world loud enough. Otherwise, you will get lost among the thousands of those who scream less.
