With only a 50% success rate, hiring is widely considered one of the single biggest problems in business today. But get it right and it can become your greatest opportunity for success, says New York Times best-selling author Dr. Geoff Smart. For starters, you will save time and money (on average, to the tune of $1.5 million or more a year!). Also, you’ll likely be able to grow your business and in turn, your profits. Join us as Geoff, who is also the chairman and founder of the leadership consulting firm ghSMART, shares his simple four-step hiring method that works 90% of the time. Now those are odds we can get behind. And don’t miss host Ken Coleman’s rant on a recent Wall Street Journal article on an intriguing hiring trend!

This was a really great podcast and so true. The affect of a bad hire not only on revenue in a firm but also on morale of other team members and wasted time of leaders having to manage through the bad hire. Hope to be able to implement some of these processes with my teams.
