Leaders Last

Listen Later

In this episode of Leaders Last, we'll discuss Carolyn Christie's view that references can be unreliable. We'll also explore the legal, one-sided, and sometimes biased aspects of relying on them. And then, I'll offer you some practical alternatives to reference reliance, such as a vision-focused approach, structured job criteria, work samples, and panel interviews, to help organizations make better hiring decisions. Let's chat about it!
