The Need
Depression...Remorse...Panic...some of the emotions you feel upon discovering that the new member of your executive management team isn't going to work out. It took months of searching.
You ran ads, received hundreds of resumes, even had contingency firms search their databases. This person had been the very best this process could uncover. They had the right skills; came with the right job experiences from some of the best companies, and were a value from a compensation perspective.
Sadly, they just "don't get it," and never will internalize what you're trying to do with the executive team you have assembled. Now you have to pay severance, restart the search and adjust the mission critical objectives you wanted to delegate to this person. According to some industry experts, hiring the wrong $100,000 per year manager will cost your company at least $250,000!
