A friend of mine lives in the United States but manages 100 employees overseas. She needed to hire a new manager, and I asked what she looked for as she interviewed. “Three things: Candor so they will talk to me. Humility so they will talk with the team. And Technical Ability to get the job done.” She had a wry smile when she also added, “A lot of them have the technical ability.” The implication to me was that the first two are both rare and required…worth searching for, worth waiting for.
