Im März 2020 änderte sich alles. Homeoffice war plötzlich die neue Norm. Alle mussten sich digitalisieren und transformieren – ob sie wollten oder nicht.

With talented and dedicated people, any business can succeed. Without great people, every business will fail. Yet many managers recruit only when they have a job opening, often settling for those who are only “good enough”. Yet hiring the right people is an ongoing process, not a one-time activity.

But great managers “hire slow, fire fast.” They interview effectively and check a candidate’s past performance before making an offer.
