businesspeople

There are two kinds of businesspeople: those who violate all rules of ethics, morality and human decency in the name of making a blood-stained buck only to have their lives shattered as they're torn away from their families and mistresses and shipped off to do decades of hard time in prison, and those who don't get caught.

In this landmark book, Geoff Smart and Randy Street provide a simple, practical, and effective solution to what The Economist calls “the single biggest problem in business today”: unsuccessful hiring. The average hiring mistake costs a company $1.5 million or more a year and countless wasted hours. This statistic becomes even more startling when you consider that the typical hiring success rate of managers is only 50 percent.
