Full disclosure, I have a different experience with most business books than the average person does. Recently I was at a mastermind, and I had a familiar experience. One I have far too often. At this mastermind, someone at my table recommended the book "Topgrading," and I could have jumped out of my skin. 

 

When it comes to books on hiring or processes on recruitment, there's a well-known book out there called "Topgrading." Essentially it's a book based on stack ranking people in a company. Honestly, topgrading is a terrible process and one I've had personal experience with. In this podcast, I share a story of the Topgrading group coming into a company I had partnered on. Tune in to hear how this process failed this business, and how I ended up winning. 

 

There's a ton of books and process out there. You need to be careful about which ones you use and listen to. The majority of them haven't been challenged, and if they were, you would see that they are no good. Topgrading is one of them. If you want advice on how to hire the right people for your business, here's what you need to do. Take your candidates and look at the skill sets they have. Make sure they match your position, but more importantly, make sure they are excited about the job and that they are a true believer. Because you can have the perfect person on paper, but if they aren't genuinely excited about their position and they don't believe they are going to fail you. Find true believers who care and your entire business will change. Lastly, if you haven't yet, don't even bother reading the book "Topgrading." Trust me; I'm doing you a favor.
