Stop hiring assholes (How to effectively hire and fire)

from Unrivaled Potential · host Michael Pomeroy

One bad hire can screw up everything. 📉 From wrecking the culture to costing you tens of thousands in mistakes, "shitheads" are expensive. Mike and Ryan get raw about the "cancer" they recently surgically removed from the business and the lessons learned from firing too slowly.We discuss the "Victim Mentality" often found in the trades , why you can’t "save" every employee , and how to spot red flags in the first 48 hours. If you want to protect your high-performers and build a culture of trust, you have to be willing to have the hard conversations man-to-man.
