Why Do Most Companies Fail? Hiring Is At The Core

Why do most companies fail?
  • Most companies fail primarily because they don’t have the right team of people
  • The CEO might not be right, or the CEO hasn’t chosen the right people in the right positions
  • Unfortunately, most new CEOs don’t understand the talent level required at each position and the teamwork needed to build a successful company.
  • To have a successful company, most businesses need key people in several categories including research & development, manufacturing, IT, finance, marketing, sales, and HR.

BOTTOMLINE: Hiring right (from position description, to sourcing, to interviewing, to selection, to assessment, to hiring, to orientation, to development, to succession planning) - are all keys to building the right team. Done properly and repeatedly, the organization thrives. Ignore it, and the organization is doomed to failure.
