Make coordination easy use technology to keep people talking together. 5. Eat your own dog food make use of the company products. 6. Encourage creativity allow freedom to come up with new ideas. 7. Strive for consensus remember that many are better than few. 8. Don t be evil live tolerance and respect. 9. Data-driven decisions do the analysis and stay on track. 10. Communicate effectively hold many stay-in-touch meetings. Response: Q. 1) Hire by committee. This is one of the most significant factor influencing recruit process. The advantage to hire future colleagues by committee is a guarantee that all organizational members would satisfy the qualifications requires to advance a firm. It is a matter of responsibility share between hiring committee too. Hiring decision should be based on plurality of opinions. But, I do not see this as a possibility for those who just start a business and the business is so small that there is no committee at all. Does this mean hiring without a committee will downgrade the quality of recruits and leave the room for manager's confrontation? This should not be the measure for performance evaluation if the company just enter a business.
