“The reality is in order to make the business a good functioning big business, we just can't keep the same habits.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) explores the top five mistakes businesses make when hiring employees, including hiring from the same pool of people and ignoring red flags during the interview process. She also emphasizes the importance of diversity of thinking and hiring for practical experience rather than just potential.
