How to Build a Team of Kick-Ass Thai Employees
In the close to 10 years I've been running companies in Thailand I've probably done more than 200 job interviews. I still remember the very first one.

Let's assume, the moment I step out of the coffee shop I'm sitting in, I get hit by a bus. Considering it's a busy four-way crossing with not a single (working) pedestrian light in sight, that's actually not too far fetched. What would I want to have posted on this blog if that were indeed to happen? It's not a terribly unusual train of thought for me. Every time I set foot in an elevator, I wonder what it would be like if it suddenly it went into free fall and, the worst case scenario, … [Read more...]
