Alvin Foo’s Post

Steve Jobs has to be one of the deepest and most profound thinkers of our generation. Truly gone too soon. So much of what he says here resonates on such a deep level. Type A players. The renegades. Never content with keeping the status quo. The out-of-box thinkers, or rather, why must there be a box? They’re non-linear thinkers. The odd-one-outs. I’ve been blessed to have worked in organizations and teams that were filled to the brim with A players. You instinctively knew that they had your back, come rain or shine. Not only were they brilliant when it came to delivering really good work - they would never compromise on executing deliverables and exceeding expectations. They are kind, compassionate and empathetic. Their mindset was that of abundance. Life is not a zero sum game. There’s more than enough space for everyone to be winning. Above all else, they are amazing, inspiring human beings. They raise the bar of every single person around them. Cheers to every single one of you 🥂 Legion Richardson Karen Beggs Ihab Ayoub Elisa Dass Ashish Seta Honorata Sarnecka, Assoc CIPD Michael Ogheneme Jamil Shinawi Koichi Yokoyama-san, we never worked together in the same org, but the both of you are making the world a better place 🌍 I’m grateful to count the both of you as friends. For those who have spared 2mins of your time reading this post, who are the A players who immediately come to mind? Tag them below 👇🏼 #barraiser #stevejobs #raiseyourgame

What’s the number one trait I look for when hiring? We’ve got more than ten roles open right now that we’re actively recruiting for. I’ll let you in on a secret. When hiring, I look for four things: 🔥Extreme character 🔥Extreme talent 🔥Extreme drive 🔥Teaming ability What do I mean by extreme character? I want my employees to have foundational principles and a deep understanding of the reciprocal duties to others. That they care about other people. That they are honest and have integrity. You’ve gotta nail character because this trait means they are someone you can have confidence in. You can trust them. They are going to be a benevolent person and do what’s right by the company. Character is underrated today in hiring. You can build someone’s skills, but if they don’t have character, innate talent, and drive, you’ll be spinning your wheels. #hiring #entrepreneurship #leadership

THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT qualities I look for when hiring 👇👇👇 At Team DOAC our first principle when hiring centers around one pivotal question: Will this individual elevate the entire team? I look for people who embody ALL 5 qualities: 1. Boundless Ambition - will they break barriers and redefine what's possible? 2. Resilient Nature - can they adapt, overcome obstacles, and emerge stronger and more capable? 3. Kindness & Empathy - Will they foster our culture of kindness? 4. Continuous Improvement - Do they have a hunger to stay ahead of the curve and drive meaningful change? 5. Team Collaboration - will they be a team player and work together to achieve our shared vision? We look for people with shared qualities and values that when combined our collective impact is amplified. What do you look for when hiring?👇👇👇 #culture #business #teambuilding
