Will you hire a representative or an assistant to help you? There are two key factors to consider when hiring employees for a company. Hiring a representative involves selecting someone to act on behalf of the president, giving that person a certain level of discretion, and emphasizing support for tasks they cannot handle or are difficult to decide. Hiring an assistant involves choosing someone to help the boss with their work. The main goal of HR management is to develop internal agents; without this, the company can’t grow. That’s why we focus on hiring individuals with good character and a strong foundation from the start, seeking someone who can potentially replace the boss. So, why does the boss exist? To delegate authority and take responsibility for those they assign. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Revealing all your attractiveness and skills at once is unwise. This principle is also relevant in business. In marketing, creating “waiting demand” can occur when a superior product model is announced in advance, pressuring customers to postpone their purchases. This phenomenon is known as the “Osborne Effect,” named after the Osborne Computer Company in England, which introduced an excessively innovative computer named Vixen and subsequently went bankrupt the following year because existing products could not be sold. Innovating and guiding your current customers is never a straightforward task. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
