If you've ever let someone go in their first 90 days and thought "another bad hire" — this episode is going to challenge that story. The real reason your hires aren't working out probably has less to do with them and a lot more to do with what's happening before they ever find their footing.
Listen in to hear:
- The surprising parallel between your customer experience and your employee onboarding
- Why the first 90 days are 100% your responsibility as a leader — and why that's actually good news
- What most small business owners get wrong about onboarding talented people
- Why the better the hire, the more onboarding they actually need
- How to stop living in the echo chamber of "employees these days" and start taking ownership
