You’re hiring a new Vice President of Sales. Joe has all the qualifications, experiences, and best of all – he has a great personality. You hire Joe with the full intention that he will perform to your expectations. You spend hours, days, weeks, and even months to train him which costs you a lot of money and time.
Within three months and without an indication, Joe resigns from his position. You’re disappointed, but not shocked–why? Because Joe is the third person you hired for this position in the past year.
What will you do?
- Begin a new hiring process because maybe the “fourth time is the charm”
- Try a new approach by seeking help to determine (1) the real cause on why people are quitting, (2) make appropriate changes, (3) and then hire the “right” person for the job
But before you do the same thing and expect different results, take into consideration:
- 75% of working adults report the most stressful aspect of their job is their immediate boss
- 65% of managers that people have had they would NOT work for again
So Mr./Ms.CEO, what does that mean to you?
Take a step back and analyze your performance as a leader and ask yourself one question: Is it them or is it me?
