In this featured My Quest for the Best Interview, Eric Herrenkohl talks with Bill Ringle about how to hire A-Players for Small Business Leaders.
Eric argues that outstanding performers often need to be managed and supported differently than others.
How to Hire A Players
He says: “If you want to hire and keep great people then you’re going to have to be prepared to invest in a few and have that team be the core that impacts the many.”
He also explains that hiring A players doesn’t just happen by accident, and learning how to both interview properly and lead properly will draw in the people that will become the company high performers.
“There are not that many great leaders out there, so if you invest in your own ability as a leader, if you get better as a leader, then you’ll attract other leaders.”
