You are only as smart as your questions

I’ve got hiring and interviewing on the mind as this business week comes to an end and found a great post via Boulder, CO blogger Bill Flagg.  I don’t know Bill and came across his blog via my on going affection from afar for the Boulder tech scene.  Marel and I often talk about making it our home at some point and maybe one of these days the stars will align.

Anyway, the post is about "the smartest interview question" and I thought this was a great point:

"You are only as smart as your questions and as dumb as your answers. The more I shut up and ask questions, the smarter I get. The more I spout off, the less time there is to learn from what other people have to say."

Hiring the right people can make or break a start up or early stage company.  Make sure you find those that want to help you build and know what that means.
