Barbara Corcoran's Hiring Practices Talk Utilizes Unconventional Methods

Barbara Corcoran advises small business owners to disregard resumes in her unconventional hiring practices talk. The renowned real estate mogul, business consultant and television personality learned what makes a good manager or salesperson through a process of trial and error. Now, she simply looks for a specific set of traits, and ignores the rest.
When it comes to salespeople, Corcoran suggests that you hire someone who's insecure. Though this might sound counter-intuitive, Corcoran has found that insecure salespeople seek out to prove themselves, making them go above and beyond their cockier counterparts. She also seeks a positive attitude coupled with a strong work ethic to ensure a high level of success.
When it comes to choosing a manger, Corcoran looks for loyalty over anything else. She likens having a good manager to building a house on a steady foundation. Again, a positive attitude is imperative, but only when it's paired with an ability to follow through.
