Episode 67: Hiring Great Humans

Listen Later

Peter and Dan discuss one of the most important aspects in any organization: hiring. They discuss best practices in their own companies, and Dan shares tools that have helped Strategic Coach retain team members for over 25 years.

 

In this episode:

  • Peter and Dan discuss the idea that most of the talented professionals on Earth aren’t looking for you and your business. To attract their attention, you must show them your ethos, what you stand for, and the type of world you want to create.
