Most hiring mistakes come from being too easy on the way in and too hard on the way out.
Lower the bar, rush the decision, settle for “good enough”—and you’ll spend the rest of your time managing, fixing, and compensating for that mistake.
But when you hire well? When you take your time, set a high standard, and bring in people who get it? You don’t have to micromanage. You don’t have to hand-hold. They own their work. They push things forward.
A great hire makes your job easier. A bad hire makes it never-ending. Choose wisely.
