” The team with the best talent wins.” – Jack Welsh, CEO GE

“Hire right because the penalties of hiring wrong are huge.” – Ray Dalio, CEO Bridgewater Associates

A Leadership IQ study found that within 18 months 46% of all hires were considered a mishire, 19% were considered a successful hire, and the remaining 35% were considered average, and if given the chance, they wouldn’t be rehired.

The litmus test for every leader is their ability to field and retain a team of high performers.  Unfortunately, these high performers are extremely rare and are not readily available.  They are not “actively” looking for their next step.  They are too busy with their heads down crushing their goals with one of your competitors.  These high performers do not have the time or bandwidth to look at and reply to your ads posted on the job boards.

Are you willing to gamble on your career and just flip a coin when it comes to recruitment on your team?
