Leaders who keep making bad hires are focusing on the wrong thing. Most people hire for skill. Experience. What is written on a resume. But skills can be taught.
What cannot be trained is how someone thinks. Their attitude.
Their work ethic. Their values. When you hire only for skill, you risk bringing in the wrong person. And that slows everything down.
The better approach is simple. Hire slower. Take time to understand who they are. Then if it is not the right fit, act quickly. Do not wait and hope it improves. Strong teams are built by choosing the right people first.
Then training them to win. Save this to build a stronger team faster.
