Thanks to friend Achyut Menon. Kind of a long link, but let me try to give the gist before you click.
Branson says he looks for a personality first "that fits your company culture". Personality - one who is fun, friendly, caring and loves helping others.
Then comes experience.
And then expertise.
Then the persons ability to be a team player who is willing to try his/her hand at different jobs.
Its okay if he/she is a maverick. Qualifications come last.
Leadership is paramount - the wrong leader can destroy the company very quickly. Ideally find the leader from within and go outside only when you cannot find one.
Great line to sum up - "It's better to have a hole in your team than an asshole in your team." - Samir Desai
