04/13/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseMost companies are hiring incorrectly. They hire for polish when they should be hiring for passion. They hire for credentials when they should be hiring for commitment. They hire for experience when they should be hiring for edge.

Dan’s Biz Bookshelf: ‘The 'NVIDIA Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant’

It’s a book about conviction, stubborn vision, and, most of all, what happens when a leader refuses to think small. At the center of it all is Jensen Huang. Kim does a masterful job showing us that NVIDIA’s rise wasn’t luck, timing, or some Silicon Valley fairy dust. It was discipline and obsession. It was long-term thinking in a world addicted to quarterly results.
