John Gafford: 我更看重经验而非教育背景。在招聘时,我更愿意选择那些拥有丰富实践经验的人,而不是仅仅掌握理论知识的人。 在当今商业环境中,工作内容变化迅速,需要员工具备快速适应能力,能够不断学习新知识和技能。那些墨守成规、不愿改变的人将难以适应新的挑战。 我观察到,许多公司,特别是科技公司,越来越重视实践经验,而不仅仅是学历。 Cameron Herold: 我成长在一个鼓励创业的家庭,这塑造了我的创业精神。我认为实践经验比传统教育更重要。 我在大学期间就开始创业,并逐渐意识到实践经验比课堂学习更重要。现在,我甚至不建议我的孩子去上大学,而是建议他们去多家公司实习,以获得更实际的商业经验。 大学教育并非人人适用,建议选择实用性强的专业,例如金融或法律,避免学习文科类专业。 传统的教育路径已经过时,可以通过实习、网络和在线课程等方式获取知识和经验。 在企业发展中,我遵循一套独特的公式,包括定价策略、企业文化建设和公关策略。 建立成功的企业并不需要创新,更重要的是学习和复制优秀企业的成功经验。 在招聘时,我更看重员工的适应能力、解决问题的能力、学习能力和协作能力。 当今商业环境变化迅速,企业需要员工具备快速适应能力。 年轻人需要提升人际交往能力和同理心,这些能力在当今社会非常重要。 我鼓励人们走出舒适区,积极探索新的可能性。 环球旅行的经历比传统教育更有益于个人成长。 “生动愿景”是一种通过想象未来状态来实现目标的方法。 我所有的工作都围绕着帮助企业家实现他们的愿景这一核心目标展开。 企业应该优先关注员工和客户的满意度,而不是仅仅关注业绩。 企业家应该将更多的时间和精力投入到优秀员工身上,而不是那些表现不佳的员工。 我寻找的创业者具备强有力的领导力、目标导向和坚韧的品质。 在追求事业成功的过程中,享受过程比结果更重要。
