You’re Delaying Because You Don’t Know the Real Cost

Of the last five people you hired, how many are exceeding your expectations?

How many are simply meeting your expectations?

The rest are falling short.  And that number may be all five.

That gap has a price tag.  And most leaders have never actually added it up.

Think about what a single bad hire costs you:

• Weeks of lost productivity.

• Management time consumed by performance issues.

• Team morale damaged.

• Customers underserved.

• A role reposted, re-interviewed, and re-onboarded.

Multiply that by every hire that didn't work out in the past two or three years.

The number is bigger than you want to know.  Which is exactly why most leaders don't calculate it.

But not knowing doesn't make the cost disappear.  It just makes it easier to delay fixing the problem.

Shane Parrish is right:  Inertia keeps us comfortable with processes that are quietly costing us far more than we realize.  And hiring is where that cost compounds fastest - because WHO you add to your team determines the success of your team more than any other single factor.

The fix doesn't require a complete overhaul overnight.  It first requires clarity.
