Principles of Hiring Great People

Image
OVERVIEW Great people are the single best asset/resource of a successfulbusiness. With great people you have innovation, creativity, enthusiasm, quality, responsiveness and results. Together these produce profits. When you hire less than great people you inhibit the ability and attitude of the entire organization. It is like having a severe cold, headache or pain in the stomach. The wrong people in an organization slow it down, cause confusion and prevent the achievement of great goals. Most people do not deliberately hire people that don't fit rather they just haven’t given the hiring process the appropriate emphasis, effort and effective planning. They are usually unconscious of how important it is to get the most appropriate, best and brightest people matched well to each position in a company.  It doesn’t have to be that way. Everyone wins when the hiring process leads to a quality fit and you hire great people. This webinar will show you exactly how to do just that

OVERVIEW Get on a Southwest flight to anywhere, buy shoes from Zappos.com, pants from Nordstrom, groceries from Whole Foods, anything from Costco, a Starbucks espresso, or a Double-Double from In N' Out, and you'll get a taste of these brands’ vibrant change management trainingcultures.
