Hiring & managing senior employees

In an entrepreneurial organization enthusiasm, eagerness to contribute and make a difference, passion, and desire for growth count for more than paper qualifications. Even senior persons need to be directed, motivated and managed to help them achieve their goals. An entrepreneur cannot assume that an executive can share the same desire to contribute as the entrepreneur. An executive also cannot be expected to see the big picture and to balance the short term with the long term. For this, it is important to constantly share the organization's vision and mission, list short term and long term goals, and constantly track progress with respect to these goals.
