changing, conservative or adventurous).• Your own preferred or natural style.

Shackleton’s Wayon hiring
• Be a creative, unconventional interviewer if you seek creative, unconventional people. Go deeper than job experience and expertise. Ask questions that reveal a candidate’s personality, values, and perspective on work and life.
• Hire those who share your vision. Someone who clashes with your personality or the corporate culture will hinder your work.

Supporting staff
• To help your staff do top-notch work, give them the best equipment and training you can afford. Working with outdated, unreliable tools creates an unnecessary burden.
• Always keep the door open to your staff members, and be generous with information that affects them. Well-informed employees are more eager and better prepared to participate.
