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”?
– Potential vs. Experience (PVE)
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.

What is the PM clinic discussion forum and why don’t I have permission to access it?
The pmclinic was retired a few years ago. The archive, which has some great advice in it, can be found here:
