Some years ago I was asked to help a large institution figure out how to hire more ‘entrepreneurs.’ They asked me to review some 30+ resumes to find someone. First, I narrowed down the 30 people to 3 and asked “are these your top picks?” “Yes,” they replied. Then I told them the mistake they are making is that, while these resumes were impressive in a stand alone capacity, NONE of these people had ever started a company it just looked like they had.
