This article started by telling me to not hire people who agree with you. Which if you think about it is good because you will be able to have another point of view all of the time instead of people telling you great idea when in actuality it is horrible. This article basically states that you need to make sure you know who you are hiring before you do so, look up their history but not just their work history but also the relationships he/she had at the company, how that employee got along with the other members of the organization and what kind of attitude they had while at work. If someone gives you feedback about how bad an employee was then you can make the decision to not hire that person.

INSTANT MBA: 'If You And Your Partner Agree On Everything, One Of You Is Redundant'
This article talks about how important it is to check out your partner before you start to do business with him. I agree with the article in that you should know everything about your partner before you start a business with him. You should know his past and how he works. I also agree that you should work with your partner and learn his/her habits and how they work through problems. You also want a partner who looks at problems and the business in a different way so that you are not always seeing the same side of things. Agreeing on everything will not get you good results because you are not seeing the weakness in them.

It's good to have opinions from an alternative point of view. This is the reason some people have partners, however, if the partner has your same mindset it becomes unproductive. It is important to see if your partner is a good fit before committing to working with him or her indefinitely. You can do this by working with the person on a short term basis or talking to people the person has worked with in the past before fully committing. A partner can either make or break you and for this reason it is extremely important to pick the right one. This doesn't really relate to me but i've heard of many bad stories that involved partners. People are selfish and greedy and ultimately only care about themselves, especially when it comes to business. This is why i'm going to do whatever it takes to avoid having a partner.

I think the focus of this link was to inform readers about the type of partners to work with, or becoming the partner someone will want to work with. Both partners should be innovative at some level of significance in order to help the business grow. If you keep agreeing on one thing, no new ideas are being brought up. One idea should be able to lead to another, so you should never be at a standstill if there is more than one of you. The purpose of your partnership is to help build idea upon idea and generate productive results.

This article talks about familiarizing yourself with someone before choosing them as a partner. I completely agree with this article because it seems in today's world a lot of people want a job, but not necessarily to work. Having the right work partner can make your work easier as well as their own if you work well together. The job can get done faster and much more efficiently when done right. In my opinion, good work ethics can be a real deal maker when choosing a partner. References go a long way in helping to make the right decision for bringing someone on board. Anyone can lie and say they have great work ethics, but someone who has worked with them before can vouch for whether or not the person is telling the truth or just trying to look good to get their foot in the door.

I really like this article. Sometimes when hiring people, you look for someone who is exactly like yourself because you know your own capabilities. But as this article reads, you need someone to compliment yourself so that new and different ideas are bounced around. Different people with different backgrounds creates new ideas. The article also talks about the importance of references. Sometimes people can be good at selling themselves but that doesn't mean they are a good fit for a particular job.
