Leadership Tuesdays: On Hiring...Amy Gutmann

When asked the question in a New York Times's article* of, "How do you hire", she replied:


"I am notorious at Penn among my executive team for warning people not to place too much emphasis on interviews. References, and what somebody has done, are more important than what somebody tells you in an interview.  Well done is better than well said, and there’s no substitute for good referencing." --Amy Gutmann Ph.D,  President of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA
