Richard Branson’s Secrets to Recruiting the Right Personality

By May 02, 2017

Picture this: Richard Branson flies a group of job candidates to his house for an interview. He has an 85-year old taxi driver pick them up at the airport.

After the taxi driver unloads the bags at the house, everyone sits down. Branson pulls off his mask. He was the taxi driver all along.

Some passengers had been rude, not knowing who he was. Others had even mocked him. No one got the job. (True story folks.)

Branson admits it’s an extreme example, but as he told LinkedIn’s Shannon Stubo during Talent Connect, the story shows just how much he values personality in hiring decisions and in his employees.

Having good people skills is one non-negotiable for Branson. Here are two of his other guiding principles:

“Love the mavericks.”

A serial risk-taker himself, Branson looks for other radicals. “We want people who delight in taking risks, who aren’t afraid to fall flat on their faces.” That’s because those are the people who will achieve what’s never been done before.

Taking risks inevitably involves failure, and Branson is the first to admit that he’s had some. (Virgin Brides anyone?) But when he talks about them with such candor and humility, it is easy to see his resilience and why he’s so successful overall.

“I will do everything in my power to avoid failure. But if I do fail, literally the next morning, it is out of my mind. I try to learn from things that don’t work out, but I’m on to the next project right away.”

Branson looks for the maverick in prospective employees. One way he does so is by hiring from within. This way he can see a prospect’s risk-taking track record first-hand, and understand his or her other strengths and weaknesses more easily.

“Look for the best in people and you’ll get the best back.”

Branson “was a born optimist.” He exudes positivity everywhere, and it’s a quality he looks for in others.

He spoke about the time he learned an employee was stealing records from one of his music stores. After meeting with him Branson realized he rebelled in good ways too, so he didn’t fire him. The employee not only stopped stealing, but went on to do great things for the company.

In a similar vein, Branson always chooses to move an underperformer to a more suitable role within the company rather than terminate them outright.

He also likes to promote above what employees expect, and that has served him well. He shared how a cleaning staffer at one of his recording studios went on to become its Managing Director. Similarly, a receptionist in the Canadian office ended up running Virgin’s entire charitable foundation in that country.

One way Branson measures optimism is by observing how much someone praises rather than criticizes. Cheerleaders motivate employees far better than critics, he reasons, so he wants only the former in his companies.

The take-home message

For Branson, three of the most important traits in employees are:

People skills: relates to and treats others well.
Risk-taking and grit: isn’t afraid to fail and is determined to succeed.
Optimism: sees the best in others and sees the best in situations.

He’s not a recruiter per se, but Branson is surely in the business of talent. So since he’s a super happy self-made billionaire, maybe it’s time to think about (or revisit) the personality traits that you need most in your organization, and consider giving them more importance in your hiring decisions.

Baby Elephants That Will Instantly Make You Smile

By April 30, 2017

Elephants are the gentle giants we all know and love – but baby elephants are even better. It’s time to show some major appreciation to the fuzzy-headed little Dumbo’s who will eventually become the mammoths of tomorrow.

Elephant babies, or calves, are usually born at about 250 pounds and 3 feet tall. They’re pretty clumsy for about 3 months after they’re born, and have hardly any control over their trunks, which they often trip over. As if that doesn’t make them enough of a handful, calves usually drink around 3 whole gallons of milk every day, a routine they sometimes keep for up to 10 years. That’s a tall order for a mom of any species! While male elephants will grow to leave the herd after 12 years or so, females stay with their families for life – good news for all of the elephant parents who can’t bear the thought of their daughters leaving the nest.

Check out our favourite baby elephants below, and share this with anyone who might need a few floppy ears to help them get through today.

Angry Mom Accidentally Texts 35-Year-Old Guy Instead Of Her Daughter, And Things Escalate Quickly

By April 28, 2017

A 35-year-old man from Wisconsin was enjoying his day off from work recently when a text suddenly appeared in his inbox. “Hunny please grab milk and lunch meet on your way home,” read the message. Given that the man, who goes by the name of velakskin, was already at home, and given that he didn’t recognize the number, he figured that the sender had obviously contacted the wrong person. Despite repeatedly trying to convince them of this however, the sender refused to believe that they weren’t talking to Jess, their own 18-year-old daughter. And as you can see below, things escalated pretty quickly…
