What's been the most important factors in making a new hire successful?
Hardest part:
Finding someone with culture and values fit. Generally, I have hired gems when I dropped certain filtering criteria and focused on experience, capabilities, willingness to unlearn, willingness to learn.
Most important factors in making a new hire successful:
Self motivation on the part of the hired. I wish there was a book similar to "the first 90 days" by Michael D. Watkins for everyone. This book is for executives and management but has lessons that make you productive and successful quickly in a new environment.
