This document outlines the five stages of executive hiring: 1) Planning, 2) Working with Candidates, 3) Referencing Process, 4) Compensation Offer, and 5) Offer. It provides tips for each stage, such as developing a prioritized hiring list, taking control of the candidate process, conducting a "mini board meeting" for candidates to present their strategy, doing a 360 degree reference check process, addressing compensation expectations, and making the final offer only when confident it will be accepted. The overall goal is to eliminate surprises after the new executive is hired.
Some think working remotely is a terrible setting that takes control away and let's employees stay at home and be useless. Others find that remote work increases overall productivity and lowers the need to micromanage.
And both sides might be correct as remote work, like all other structures, work really well for some and make others crazy.
The only thing that we can say for certain is that telecommuting is increasingly popular and there are problems you need to face to make it work.

Dispatches From The New Economy: The Five Faces Of The On-Demand EconomyIntuit Inc.
From people determined to be their own boss, to those embracing the flexibility to do something they love, to workers finding a replacement for a traditional job – people working in the on-demand economy are just about as diverse as the labor market itself. A new report from Intuit Inc. and Emergent Research shows that there are a broad range of motivations – and differing levels of satisfaction – among five distinct groups of on-demand workers:
The Business Builders – primarily driven by the desire to be their own boss. They represent 22 percent of on-demand workers.
The Career Freelancers – happily building a career through independent work. They represent 20 percent of on-demand workers.
The Side Giggers – looking to find financial stability by supplementing existing income. They represent 26 percent of on-demand workers.
The Passionistas – looking for the flexibility to do something they love. They represent 18 percent of on-demand workers.
The Substituters – replacing a traditional job that is no longer available. They represent 14 percent of on-demand workers.
Methodology
A total of 4,622 workers who find work opportunities via the platforms provided by the participating partner companies completed an online survey between September 11 and October 1, 2015. The results were weighted to reflect the proportion of workers in each of the following segments: Drivers/Delivery, Online Talent Marketplaces and Field Service/Onsite Talent. The weights were developed using earlier survey work that sized the on-demand economy. The largest weighted share of on-demand worker respondents from any single company is 16%, with most partner companies providing less than 10% of the respondents.

This document summarizes Robert Cialdini's research on fixed action patterns and how marketers can leverage these hardwired behaviors to influence consumer purchases. It identifies six key fixed action patterns - authority, reciprocity, scarcity, commitment/consistency, social proof, and liking - and provides examples of marketing tactics aligned with each pattern, such as using symbols of authority to build trust or creating a sense of scarcity to drive demand. The overall message is that understanding human fixed action patterns allows marketers to unconsciously influence consumer behavior.
Thomas Jefferson argues that ideas, unlike physical property, cannot be owned exclusively. Once an idea is shared, it naturally spreads and cannot be taken back or possessed solely by one person. All people who receive an idea simultaneously possess the whole of it, without diminishing the idea for others. Ideas were designed by nature to freely spread among people for mutual improvement, like fire that expands without lessening itself or air that cannot be confined. Therefore, inventions cannot truly be subjects of property.
