The One Where You Hire a Monica, a Rachel, and a Phoebe

Monica and Rachel are total opposites, and that’s what makes them a legendary duo. Monica, she’s the classic Type A powerhouse: organized to a fault, a little controlling, and absolutely hilarious (whether you love or hate her bossy ways). She’s ambitious, talented, and somehow manages to keep everything running smoothly (most of the time).

Rachel, on the other hand, is the laid-back Type B. Sure, she’s sometimes a bit disorganized and not exactly the poster child for responsibility. But that’s part of her charm! She’s bright, wildly creative, and empathetic. She’s someone everyone naturally likes and trusts. Honestly, who doesn’t want a Rachel around to lighten the mood and bring fresh perspectives?

And then there’s Phoebe. What’s Type C? I don’t really know, but it’s probably some delightful mix of Phoebe’s quirky, unpredictable vibe. She might not be the most book-smart, but she’s one of the sweetest, most memorable, and absolutely most likable people you’ll ever meet. Plus, she keeps everyone laughing and shakes up the routine in all the best ways.

Now imagine your team without these wildly different personalities. Boring, right?

Hiring only “Monicas” might mean you get control and ambition, but miss out on creativity and warmth. Only “Rachels”? Well, you might get charm but lose a bit of order. And without a “Phoebe,” you’re missing that spark that keeps morale high and the energy flowing.

So next time you’re hiring, think outside the usual box. Embrace different types of people. Your business (and your team’s sanity) will thank you.
