Reid Hoffman, the billionaire Co-founder of LinkedIn is known for his rather shy nature. This is one of the main reasons why he hired Jeff Weiner as the company CEO, as the latter is proficient at networking and socializing. The usual consideration is that shy people cannot succeed as entrepreneurs. But that of course proved untrue for Hoffman, so he has shared a few key life hacks. The first is to deliberately keep some space open for serendipity. Another is to get references for work or on people. Whatever skillsets one possesses, he/she must make the best use out of them. Hoffman’s proficiency at talent recruitment meant that he was invited by several companies to oversee their hiring efforts, which he eventually made his fulltime work with the launch of LinkedIn.
