The Armory Life Interviews: Black Hills’ Jeff and Kristi Hoffman

favorite line from the article- "To no one’s surprise, we find that if we treat talented people properly, it is pretty easy to keep them. Of course, both of us work to that end." Odd how so many businesses today are replete with MBA and BCOM degreed ivy league types constantly whining about how hard it is to find good people. Wonder what the problem could be.
 
Thanks for the link, Mike. An interesting article. Small businesses like Black Hills don’t get a lot of attention in the “press,” and I appreciate TAL publishing your interview.

Too many bean counters have ruined and bankrupt many a company.

While the MBA and BCOM folks agreat to have around, American business better be worried about skilled labor. I am In the building material business (31+ years with current company) and I get to ask a few questions in interviews of potential hires. You should see their faces when I ask these people with degrees in construction management what the diamonds every 19-3/16" on a tape measure are there for, or what is the thickness of a 2x4 wood stud wall with 5/8" drywall on each side. We are in trouble.
