You made the big hire. They have the experience, the track record, the resume. A few weeks in, something feels off and you're starting to wonder if you made the right call. This isn't usually a people problem. It's almost always a process problem: two specific gaps that most leaders skip, and both happen before the new hire ever has a real chance to hit their stride.

In this episode you will learn:

• Why the interview needs to go beyond skills questions, and what happens when expectations go unset
• The Google story: a senior hire from McKinsey who had every qualification and still wasn't set up to succeed, and exactly what was missing from day one
• What knowledge transfer actually looks like for a senior role and why it's the highest-leverage investment you can make in the first two weeks
• How to get aligned on what success looks like in the first 90 days, even when you're not fully sure yourself
• The real cost of turnover: Gallup's 50-200% replacement cost in real dollars, and why this conversation is worth having
