Dream Job Ready Quick Take episode with Dane Sharp and Danny Keens.

How to manage people & big, diverse teams + plus what makes employees successful | Dream Job Ready Quick Take EP41.

Hello! My name is Dane Sharp, I’m your show host and I wanted to re-share a great snippet of advice that Danny Keens shared in Episode 26.

Danny has a storied career and has had dream jobs with the likes of Twitter, ESPN, Channel 9 and most recently Next VR, which was virtual reality company bought out by Apple in 2020.

Danny has held multiple senior level roles, so I asked him in that interview about how he approaches managing people and developing and leading big and diverse teams… And also asked for his thoughts, as a boss, on what makes an employee great, successful and trust-worthy….

I loved the following quote (which Danny shares in this episode):

"Hiring is hard.. finding a good person for a job is tough, but finding a great person is almost impossible."

That’s an important opinion to consider… If you’re applying for a job or fronting up at an interview, do your prep work, be present and put your best foot forward and on show.

I hope you found this Quick Take episode interesting and helpful.
