I guess Done, and Gets Things Smart is a little bit old, but I hadn't seen it before today. It's long, but I think worth reading. It helped me to think some more about how to hire and build teams. Generally, when hiring, I think it's useful to ask myself after an interview "is this person better than me?" If the answer is No, then I should vote thumbs down. Mostly because the times I've been most happy at a job have been when I feel like the dumbest guy in the room.

Conversely, when interviewing for a gig it's probably a good idea to keep track of what percentage of the interviewers seemed flat-out better than you. If it's less than half of them then it might not be a great job to take.
