Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban prioritizes two key qualities when hiring employees: culture and competency. According to Cuban, if a candidate lacks either of these qualities, it spells trouble for the organization.
While competency is crucial, culture fit reigns supreme, as evidenced by a majority of workers valuing workplace culture over salary. Cuban emphasizes the importance of hiring individuals who can both complete tasks efficiently and seamlessly integrate into the company's culture.
To discern cultural compatibility, he employs specific interview questions aimed at gauging a candidate's past experiences and attitudes towards work dynamics. Cuban seeks employees who complement his skill set and aren't afraid to challenge conventional wisdom.
