For Business Change, Stop Trying The Wrong Hiring Criteria

Posted on May 25, 2012 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 1 Comment

As many conversations as I’ve had about Facebook, and as often as I comment on how I believe Facebook is going about the business of being the world’s largest social network in the wrong way, the conversation always seems to be about Mark Zuckerberg.

One of Facebook’s co-founders, and the guy who Zuck often credits for keeping Facebook running at a pure net-and-bolts engineering level, was Dustin Moskovitz. Moskovitz,  now a founder of shared business task list startup Asana, is looking to change the world again. And I say Dustin Moskovitz is creating business change in ways that are way more important than what Asana sells. ...

New Ideas About Hiring The Right People, from Harvard!

Posted on March 15, 2012 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 2 Comments

I’m a big fan of “thinking different“. Whether it’s trivial stuff or big earth-shattering shifts, thinking differently is a business change that pays off. Often, you don’t know how that will look until it happens, but if I can get you to “think different“, you’ll thank me. I promise.

Sometimes thinking different can be a stretch, like looking at The National Football League as an example of socialism. But dig inside and you’ll see the wisdom and benefit that can come from something as simple as looking at things in new ways. Business Change? Yes, please! ...

United States Congress Endorses Virtual VIP, Answer Guy !

Posted on June 25, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 4 Comments

There are lots of reasons to contract out pieces of the work that keep your business in business. We’re talking flexibility issues, liability issues, expert-availability issues, and more.

But it can be hard to know who to hire as you execute business change. You really no more want to spend your days continuously scouring the earth for talent than you want the liability of having employees sitting idly on your payroll. ...

The Most Important Business Tool? Reputation (DON’T Do THIS)

Posted on April 28, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 4 Comments

Jason Calacanis, currently the CEO of Mahalo and a guy with a long track record of creating stuff in the tech world that sells for a bundle of money, isn’t known for being all warm and fuzzy. Or even a particularly nice guy.

OK . . . not direct enough. From all indications, Jason Calacanis is a bit of a jerk.

This week, he managed to outdo himself, responding to a politely-worded resignation letter from one of Mahalo’s employees in a way that can only be called “nasty”. ...

US Supreme Court to Overrule NJ Supreme Court on Privacy

Posted on April 20, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 7 Comments

Whose business is it, anyway?

It was just a few weeks ago that the New Jersey Supreme Court made me embarrassed to have lived many years of my life in the often-unfairly-maligned state. Now, the United States Supreme Court looks to be ready to fix the problem.

Let’s recap:

First, there is no constitutional right to privacy. We have many laws in the United States that establish privacy as something that may be reasonably expected under certain circumstances, but privacy isn’t a right. ...

Now, It Might Be Illegal to Read Your Employees’ E-Mail

Posted on March 31, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 7 Comments

Though born in New York City and most often look at as a NY boy, I’ve lived many years of my life in New Jersey. I know all the jokes (“what exit?!?”), and have grown fond of informing people that most of New Jersey is quite green and doesn’t look like an industrial wasteland. Yes, “The Garden State” has every right to be called that.

I’m horrified by MTV’s unreality program The Jersey Shore. I know lots of folks in New Jersey who are very smart, and like to remind people that both Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison were Jersey Boys. ...

Job Search: Ruined by the Internet. Bad Business Change

Posted on January 25, 2010 by --Jeff Yablon/The Answer Guy-- Influency & Integrated Marketing Strategist • 1 Comment

Keeping Answer Guy Central running can be a complicated thing. The job of making business change by putting the right people in the right places to handle our clients’ needs isn’t always easy, and I’m constantly on the lookout for new talent. Last week, I was discussing the state of job search with someone who said:

“Job descriptions are of a person who doesn’t exist, and the applicant’s task is to pretend to be that person”.

While there’s always been some truth to that—employers put out a wish list and potential employees do their best to look as though they fit—the Internet has made the problem much worse. ...
