Eric Sink discusses the 'Hazards of Hiring'

The vaulted unlegend (pun intended), Eric Sink has a new biz-tech piece titled 'The Hazards of Hiring'. It's some thought provoking piece of work, especially about the “Ph.D. Qualities“. What he didn't mention is that PhDs usually have very big egos that can bring a company or its product development down. I encountered one about a year ago (an Ivy-Leaguer to boot) who insisted that XML be used as a database (a futile attempt that I had described in a blog posting). One of these days, I have to put my biz-econ hat on and re-read Eric's biz-tech series.
