I think we will see companies increasingly focus their hiring based on emotional intelligence and mental health.

Emotional intelligence is a four fold better predictor of academic and financial success, family stability.

I used to think being smart was enough if you're looking for a good worker.

I realize now there are plenty of smart people who failed to launch and are perpetually bouncing from job to job every few years, not usually on their own accord.

I do this. It's shitty to say, but it's even why nepotism happens. I'm not trying to "right the game" for my network by making intros or recommendations. These people have earned my trust with their character and how they treat others.

And by who they're related to apparently

Hiring close friends can also be considered nepotism although it is a lesser used definition.
