My take on falling in love in the office
ghSMART & Company@ghsmartco18 Feb 2021
Hiring Leaders is a big commitment: Fall in love with reference checks and not the candidate. @ghsmartco's @alanvfoster shares four simple rules for reference checks in @Forbes article “CEOs and Boards: A Decent Proposal.” bit.ly/2NloAOq

A good way to hide something from me forever would be to say it loudly & clearly in a voicemail you left on the phone I carry with me everywhere at all times.
