In today's episode of The Biz Doctor, Lauren Goldstein dives into a mistake she sees a lot of business owners with smaller teams make that is so easily avoidable.

Have you ever said one of the following:

Or something in this same vein?

But fear not, after this episode you will have a kick butt tool to ensure you never repeat this insanity again!

Specifically, Lauren explores a few key areas you need to clarify before you hire for the role:

• What will the new hire be accountable for?
• Who are they in their DNA? At their core and will this set them up for success in the role?
• How does this combination fit into the business as a whole?

In today's episode of The Biz Doctor, Lauren Goldstein shares some red flags she sees when hiring so you can avoid them when you hire your next role!

Because, fun fact: a bad hire costs on average $14,900 or 30% of their first year salary - personally we think it's more when you factor in YOUR time and energy - so avoiding these red flags is going to save yourself a boatload of time, frustration, and revenue when you factor everything in!

Specifically, Lauren shares with listeners these red flags you might see when you’re interviewing for your next hire including:

• What it looks like when the candidate doesn’t have a plan
• When they lack a humble growth mindset
• When the candidate isn’t coachable and they’re just bucking the system
