CYJ: Cover Your Jugular; Part 1 (Hiring)


Organizations are living, breathing organisms made possible only by living, breathing, carbon-based life forms. But if you have an employee on board who offers little more than a pulse, it's time to cover your organizational jugular or your competitors will smell blood in the water.

Your company is defined by the company you keep.

Hire a poor performer and enjoy the insidious fruits of their labor in the form of:

  1. Intellectually modest ideas and contributions.
  2. Anger, frustration and resentment from high performing employees
  3. Decline in customer satisfaction (and volume) through procedural hiccups
  4. Low Return on Organizational Investment

And you get all of this for the bargain price of at least 4x the annual salary of your top employees!

CYJ.
