1. One bad hire in the $90k - $150k salary range can cost 150 hours trying to clean up the mess. This includes dealing with upset customers, calming agitated co-workers and support staff, coaching and mentoring, making up for lost opportunities and missed goals, and dealing with the termination process. This is according to research done by Brad Smart for his book Topgrading: How Leading Companies Win by Hiring, Coaching and Keeping the Best Employees. His research is based on surveys of 52 companies.
2. It gets worse! One bad hire at the management level (see #1 above) costs an average of $1.5 million according to research done for Topgrading.
3. In the next ten years, tens of millions of baby boomers will retire, which will create a seismic need for finding top talent to replace them, especially in management level positions, according to Boston College's Center on Aging & Work.
4. "Only 6 percent of organizations are confident of their ability to assess their human capital and use it to make strategic decisions," according to an IBM survey of more than 400 human resources executives from 40 countries.
5. What keeps CEOs awake at night? Here are the top ten, according to a survey of 789 global CEOs from 40 countries. Good news: ALL of the CEOs' concerns can be soothed by getting the right people in the right positions.
1. Sustained and steady top-line growth
2. Excellence in execution
3. Consistent execution of strategy by top management
4. Profit growth
5. Customer loyalty/retention
6. Finding qualified managerial talent
7. Top management succession
8. Corporate reputation
9. Stimulating innovation/creativity/enabling entrepreneurship
10. Speed, flexibility, adaptability to change

"An organization is only as good as its people."
Attendees will learn...
6. How to surround yourself with highly qualified people who are passionate about doing the work you hire them to do.
7. How to use newly discovered secrets for getting the right people in the right jobs (There's been a great deal of research done on this lately -- with some amazing new findings. I'll give you a hint: You can now match people to jobs with the same precision that eHarmony uses to match two people romantically. Learn how because this skill alone can make a boatload of money for you!)
8. How to identify diamonds in the rough while simultaneously safeguarding yourself so a bad apple doesn’t disrupt your goals, run off customers or put you out of business
9. How to spot trouble BEFORE it becomes obvious or expensive [ THIS INFO ALONE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF THE WHOLE SEMINAR! ].
10. How to keep your organization from falling prey to skilled manipulators who harbor hidden attitudes and agendas.
11. How to avoid the unseen mistake most people make in interviews. Note: Interviews — even a multiple interview process —are as safe as a leaky row boat because few interviewers know what to ask or look for when matching people with jobs.
12. How to positively identify the combination of behaviors, motivators and natural talents
that are right for BOTH the job and your organization’s culture. This is a critical step. For example, a top performing VP of Sales at your competitor might choke in your company’s culture. Vice versa, an under-performer at a competitor could unleash her inner champion in your company’s culture. Learn how to measure specific success markers that will show you which is which. Often, environment, not job duties, makes a ton of difference.
13. Learn how to reduce exposure to legal problems by injecting greater objectivity into your selection process.
14. Learn how to motivate current employees who seem burned out, lackluster or simply no longer have the enthusiasm they used to have.
“This exciting new program, packed with practical info, will
keep you on the edge of your seat!”
-Yolanda Harris, President, The Keynote Group
15. Learn tips, tools and techniques to eliminate the huge financial drain that under-achievers cause.
16. By getting the right people in the right positions, you will reduce management headaches, squabbles and costly mistakes
17. Learn how to build a high-powered team that delights your customers and clobbers your competition by possessing superior skills and eagle-eyed focus
18. You can use the information you learn in this seminar to substantially increase the productivity and job satisfaction of EXISTING employees by making adjustments to better match people with the work that needs to done. I'll show you how. (It's not hard to do once you learn how.)
19. How to identify the key attributes of any high level job so you can paint a precise picture of the best person for the job in regards to talents, skills, motivators, attitudes, and behaviors.
20. Use the Gamble Out of Hiring Process to create an executive selection system that accurately identifies the most qualified candidates.
21. Save time, energy and money when hiring.
22.No more making hiring, promotion or merger decisions based on a hunch, a hope and a prayer.
