Talent is Social: Helping Your Dream Job Find YOU via Social MediaEric Weaver
Alternate title: how to use social media to help your perfect job find YOU.
Synopsis: We live in a world where recruiters are overwhelmed and time-starved; where Google is the front door to finding what you're looking for; and where the traditional job search approach of Spray and Pray has little efficacy.

terms and you’ll receive hundreds of thousands of hits. The literature positively explodes with deep
insight and pop psychology on how to deal with younger employees—professionals in their mid-20s to
early 30s.How do you recruit, hire,
manage and survive with younger, rising executives who may not speak your language or respect your
values? If the Millennials receive most of their validation from outside of their professional network,
what leverage does the leadership of your organization have to shape raw talent into valuable current
and future leaders?

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Before we continue...
7. “There is no perfect fit when you’re looking for the next big thing to do. You have to
take opportunities and make an opportunity fit for you, rather than the other way
around. The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.”
Sheryl Sandberg - Facebook
8. We are biased towards people who never give up, who never quit; and that’s
something you can’t find on a resume. We look for courage, and we look for genius.
There’s all this talk about how important failure is. I call it the failure fetish. ‘Failure is
wonderful, it teaches you so much, it is great to fail a lot,’ they say. But we think
failure sucks. Success is wonderful.
Marc Andreessen – Andreessen Horowitz
9. Do something that you love. We spend a lot of time at work. I’ve probably spent 150
hours over the last couple of weeks. And so you have to find something that you love
and I think you need to do it with people who you really enjoy. I get tremendous
satisfaction from the team – the joy of collaboration from figuring things out together.
And so I think teams and the people that you work with are incredibly important.
Meg Whitman – Hewlett Packard
10. Companies full of people looking after themselves will, by default, make their
companies better too. In this sense, leaders don’t need to lose hope; they just need
to play the game better.
Reid Hoffman - LinkedIn
11. Andy Grove wrote a very important book in the ’80s. it’s called ‘Only the paranoid
survive!.’ I think you have to be both overconfident and paranoid at the same time almost
schizophrenic in your personality. Overconfident about your ability to solve a problem.
Paranoid that everything will get you, so you’re constantly looking for the problems.
Vinod Khosla – Khosla Ventures
12. There is nothing else that kills ambitions of a person as criticism from superiors. I
never criticize anyone. I believe in giving a person incentive to work. So I am
anxious to praise but loath to find fault. If I like anything, I am hearty in my
approbation and lavish in my praise.
Charles Schwab - Charles Schwab
13. I’ve been put in a position I’ve never dreamed of. I’ve got to conduct myself
accordingly. There’s pressure. But we don’t walk around here saying, ‘We’re going
to be rich.’ This is my idea of a good time. I visit with customers. They’re using
products with my name on them. I want to be doing this when I’m 65. I want the
very same job.
Thomas Siebel – Siebel Systems
14. When I explain our company values and the foundation to prospective employees,
they realize that they have an opportunity to do much more than change the way
businesses manage and share information. When you take a workforce of smart,
creative, dedicated people and say “take this company time to serve your community,
and bring along your coworkers, customers, and partners” great things happen.
Marc Benioff – Salesforce
15. It’s always a bad idea to set one’s employees too much against one another. You
want to find ways to differentiate people’s roles. Frame it this way: If you were a
sociopathic boss who wanted to create trouble for your employees, the formula you
would follow would be to tell two people to do the exact same thing. That’s a
guaranteed formula for creating conflict. If you’re not a sociopath, you want to be very
careful to avoid this.
Peter Thiel - Paypal
16. My biggest mistake is probably weighing too much on someone’s talent and not
someone’s personality. I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.
Elon Musk - Tesla
17. My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities,
and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good
of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead,
not follow that.
Larry Page - Google
18. All my days are themed. Monday is management. Tuesday is product, engineering,
and design. Wednesday is marketing, growth, and communications. Thursday is
partnership and developers. Friday is company and culture. On the days beginning
with T, I start at Twitter in the morning, then go to Square in the afternoon. Sundays
are for strategy. Saturday is a day off.
Jack Dorsey - Square
19. In the past, as my companies have grown, I’ve hired these amazing people and I felt
like I was getting less and less of them as the company got bigger. Part of that was
because they were in a particular area and they had ideas, concerns or perspectives,
that were relevant outside of those areas, but it wasn’t clear what to do with those.
Holacracy provides a very specific way where people are actually encouraged to bring
this stuff up. It’s called processing tension; it’s very efficient and you really take
advantage of everybody’s perspective and ideas.
Evan Williams - Twitter
