Barbara Corcoran almost missed out on "the best hire" she ever made — all because the prospective employee seemed too introverted. In walked Esther Kaplan, who would eventually become Corcoran's business partner and longtime president of The Corcoran Group. But at the time, Kaplan didn't seem like the right fit for the sales position she'd applied for, Corcoran said.
