Talent vs. Experience

This week in the pm-clinic discussion forum: Topic #37 – Hiring for talent vs. experience. Here’s the details of what we’re talking about:

“I’m in charge of a new team at work that needs to hire 4-5 people to take the project from the incubation stage to a full product. Am I better off hiring a bunch of college students with raw potential, so I can grow them into exactly the positions we need, or should I look inside our company or to experienced people in the industry to “hit the ground running”?

    Hello,

    Sorry for the wrong placing of this comment.

    I am from Bangalore, India. I read your essay about “Bad Managers”. I recently had an un-pleasant time on my job due to a fallout with my manager. I wish I had read your article at that point in time.
