Hire slow, Fire fast. Make sure to interview them a couple of times with different team members – find out what’s they’re about. Maybe take them to dinner and see what they like to talk about. Make sure they’re easy to get along with. Then, when they’re working there, make sure you don’t let them continue down a path that’s less than optimal. I’ve allowed things to go on because I didn’t want to have the conversation and it always ended up worse in the end. Fire them quickly and move on.
