We have become so accustom to convince and doing the status quo that we use the same approach when hiring. However, we need to stop and take a different approach when hiring mid-level or top executives. Many times we just try and find people in the same industry instead of finding the best managers. It is more costly to put in a bad manager then it is to educate a good leader. Think outside the box and outside the industry if you don’t find what you are looking for – think good leaders first then skills later.
