Features: A book that can change the fate of managers! People are assets of a company, but if the wrong person is hired, they can become liabilities. Therefore, the art of interpersonal assessment during interviews is a must for every business leader. There is a saying in Taiwan: "If you don’t know the goods, ask someone to look; if you don’t know the people, half will die." Hiring interviews are a deep, yet everyone thinks they can interview and hire, but employee turnover remains high, and the organization always feels like it’s short a person. Even the most carefully selected candidates end up as "phoenixes turning into sparrows," and only then do managers realize they’ve hired the wrong person. If the "wrong" person voluntarily leaves, it’s still a stroke of luck. What’s concerning is that this "wrong" person stays in the organization. If you try to fire them, you worry about labor disputes damaging the company’s image; if you don’t fire them, you fear it will harm the organizational climate, leading to chaos. Managers are truly torn, which perfectly illustrates the truth of the saying, "It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away." Open this book, and it will help you use those with professional expertise to find the right people for your company! This book is divided into ten chapters, covering topics such as: helping others realize your vision; assigning the right people to the right tasks; making wise hiring decisions; executing effectively by focusing on details; and doing the right things perfectly.
