Costs of Hiring the Wrong Integrator

But when you don’t find the right person for this role and instead hire someone who is not a cultural fit, damaging things can happen:

  • You lose productivity because of mismanaged teams
  • Mistakes are made and business opportunities get missed
  • Resources are wasted on having to repeat the hiring process
  • Employee morale suffers, causing A players to leave
  • Company culture is undermined by loss of trust and core values
  • Client relationships are strained because of declined customer service 

Frustration, stagnation, and team turnover follow bad leadership hires. While it’s hard to directly measure, it is felt in your company surveys and team health assessments.

For most companies, hiring the wrong person happens more often than not. According to a Gallup study, companies fail to choose the right candidate 82% of the time.
