The Highest Paid Person’s Opinions. You can tell you’ve encountered one because whenever one is spotted, discussion about whatever topic at hand ceases, brainstorming shifts from generating new ideas to generating reasons why that opinion will work, and criticism flees like an animal of prey.

This is mostly because they haven’t taken the time to define their culture and, therefore, there’s nothing to hire against or fit into. Instead, a standard set of questions, technical skills, qualifications, and psychometric testing are used in the hope that the right candidate lands in their lap.
