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”
Human behavior and psychology are tricky and complex. If you ask someone who prefers short-term gains, “Would you like to get $1,000 now or $1,020 a year from now,” the person will choose the former. However, if you change the question, “Would you like to get $1,000 in 10 years or $1,020 in 11 years,” people will choose the latter. The taking of time and possessiveness are even under the same conditions, they make different choices. These two dominate the human personality. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
