Startup Hire
The best entrepreneurs create increase employee engagement, and that makes teams more productive. So, the more entrepreneurs understand about personality, and the different personality types on their teams, the easier it becomes to engage and inspire team members.
The first thing to look for when searching for a great employee is somebody with a personality that fits with your company culture. Most skills can be learned, but it is difficult to train people on their personality. If you find people who are fun, friendly, caring and love helping others, you are a winner.
