– Hiring at Zappos (CEO: Tom Hseih)
– Question they ask in an interview:
– Study:• Asked them if they were lucky• Then had them read a newspaper and count how many photos• Some headlines said: “There are 37 photos, stop now and collect $100”
• Conclusion: Lucky people tend to be open to a wider realm of options and solutions – thus can work with more people and come up with more creative ideas (“be creative and a little weird” – from Zappos culture definition)
Do you consider yourself lucky?
