Listen now
Description
In this episode’s discussions around the Community Table:  Interview questions to ask that help you understand an applicant’s true motivations. Questions that dig a little deeper. And how to accept those answers at face value. Ever had a terrible experience hiring someone? There are tools to help you avoid mistakes, but you have to learn how to use them. But there are no silver bullets. Go boldly, but tread lightly.  Dealing with a new hire who won’t complete required training? Can you really require someone to learn, and if they won’t, is that grounds to terminate the relationship? This question quickly drifts into some interesting territory.  And finally, how long can you keep a new attorney at your firm before they need to start returning a profit to the firm? Maybe while they learn the ropes, you can at least have them do something that delivers value. (You can only wait so long).  Mentioned in this Episode: Malcolm Gladwell, Revisionist History page Malcolm Gladwell, “Hamlet Was Wrong” Using DiSC For Hiring Kolbe The Predictive Index Myers-Briggs personality test Jay Henderson, Real Talent Hiring Real Talent Hiring Wizehire Join the next Community Table live.
