Great advice from Marc Suster. I think a lot of people get too fixated on "hire only A players" and forget about "attitude over aptitude" and "culture matters"

Great advice from Marc Suster.
I think a lot of people get too fixated on "hire only A players" and forget about "attitude over aptitude" and "culture matters". If the only A player you find for a role is an asshole, keep looking -- or be more flexible in your definition of the role.
- seiji 16y agoI always get "A-Player" versus "C-Level" confused. Took me a long time to figure out why "C-Level" was better than "A-Player." Though, I know many CXOs who are firm C-Players.
- stcredzero 16y agoIf the only A player you find for a role is an asshole, keep looking -- or be more flexible in your definition of the role. Sometimes, the problem is the definition of "asshole." For some people, this is "anyone who tells me I'm wrong, even if they do it nicely." Such people are not A players.
