Takeaway #1 – Take care to only hire “A” players
So many problems get solved by hiring A players: engagement, retention, lack of law suits, higher productivity, more people on the pareto contribution list, more discretionary effort according to Gallup, and more time for you as a leader in not spending the bulk of your time on problem children - on the deadbeats - on playing adult day care way too often.
However, most companies are unwilling to invest in the time it takes to hire A players through spending more time defining success before hiring, scrubbing the bushes and just accepting anyone who shows up on your doorstep as the candidate pool, and having a rigorous process to vet, validate, and verify the truth with candidates.
Why do we accept hiring average, mediocre, minimally qualified candidates - and then get mad when it happens? Wouldn't it work better if we just FIXED the process?
