Hiring IT Right
For a company or leader to thrive, their ability to assemble the right team is paramount — in fact, it's the most critical aspect. While leaders are often advised to select the right individuals, there's a notable gap in their education on how to do so. Consequently, many leaders allocate only 10% of their time to recruiting and spend the remaining 90% rectifying recruiting errors.

This approach leads to substantial inefficiencies, discontent among team members, and outcomes that fall short of a leader's potential. Additionally, the processes become both costly and disruptive for the organization when incorrect hires are made.
To avoid these pitfalls, leaders should steer clear of common hiring mistakes, such as:
Attempting to hire individuals who mirror themselves.
Seeking candidates with broad skills but lacking expertise in any particular area (Jack of all trades but master of none).
Bringing on individuals who do not measure up to their own capabilities.
Focusing on hiring for individual positions rather than building a cohesive team.
