| PETER LEVINE JANUARY 17, 2012 What Now? Hiring Last month , as CEO of SpiderNet, you were faced with the issue of firing your VP of Engineering, who initially seemed like a rock star but proved to lack motivation, didn’t gain his team’s respect, and was ultimately ineffective.

GABRIEL WEINBERG | WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 2011  On not hiring
Hiring is hard. Not hiring can seem even harder, but often isn't. At my last company we went from entrance to exit without hiring one employee.
