<h2>[EXAMPLE]</h2>
<ol>
<li>] "When you interview someone, it's pretty easy to tease out if they take the initiative to solve problems or take on projects - or if they're simply better at being told what to do. Both are great kinds of people, but I've found most fall into one category or the other," says Stirman.</li>
<li>&nbsp;"I generally ask, 'Tell me about a project you're really excited about.' The self-starters will talk about a problem they found and how they solved it. The people who aren't will say, 'My manager came to me and said can you build?' Right away you can tell. And for our kind of organization, having to be told what to do just isn't a great fit."</li>
<li>&nbsp;"You want to make sure you hire only people you wouldn't mind getting stuck in an airport with," he says.</li>
<li>&nbsp;"So many people fall into this trap of hiring highly skilled people who are bad culture fits. And I'd argue that's the worst kind of hire - even worse than a poorly skilled person. If they're as skilled as you think they are, they'll gain power, influence and get more deeply enrooted in your technology, process and product. Then, when the honeymoon of your justifications is over and reality sets in, you're seriously stuck with this person."</li>
<li>&nbsp;"Managers are usually responsible for giving people feedback, directing them, telling them good jobs, and all of these things are super important to a healthy environment. You need someone to call you out or validate you when you've worked hard," Stirman says.</li>
<li>&nbsp;"We created a few roles responsible for giving people regular feedback," he explained.</li>
<li>&nbsp;"Domain leads are responsible for the people, not the work," Stirman says.</li>
