You brought them in for change - then asked them to fit in.

Most businesses don’t lose value when they hire, they lose it in what happens next.

In this episode, I break down one of the most common and expensive leadership mistakes: hiring capability, then immediately overriding it. What starts as a strong hire quickly becomes a more expensive version of what already exists.

We get into:

•  Why onboarding often dilutes the very thinking you hired 
•  The difference between hiring for capability vs hiring for comfort 
•  How good operators unintentionally suppress new ideas 
•  And the one question every leader should ask after making a hire

 This is a subjective take, drawn from real-world experience across global organisations and now, building one, not theory.
