All Hands on Deck: Choosing the Right People for the Right Jobs (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

It happens to managers and small-business owners all too often. You meet with a great candidate for that job opening, he nails the interview, and you hire him on the spot, thrilled to have found your man. (Or woman.) But the honeymoon ends abruptly. In a matter of days, you realize you have hired someone totally unsuited for the job. Hoping to cut your losses, you allow the new hire to stay on, vowing not to repeat your mistake. But as months and years go by, you slowly come to realize your team is sprinkled with vaguely disappointing staff members – and they’re taking a toll on workplace productivity and employee morale. If you can relate to this scenario, don’t despair. Richard Warner has some sage advice for anyone baffled by the fine arts of employee interviews and workplace relations. Using a clever nautical analogy throughout, he explains how inadvertently hiring the wrong people for the wrong positions can sink your corporate ship – and what you can do to get back on a profitable course.Incorporating (often humorous) anecdotes from his two decades as a successful small-business owner, Warner addresses employee relations and workplace personalities from initial job interviews to the details of effective team building.
