Peter and Dan discuss one of the biggest problems with the hiring process: most of the time, a job description doesn’t provide enough information to create a successful relationship between an employer and a new employee. In Episode 67, they shared best practices within their own companies; in this follow-up episode, Peter and Dan discuss a specific agreement that communicates expectations to a new team member.
In this episode:
Dan explains his dislike of team management meetings and why he developed a new tool called the 4x4. This thinking process helps you clarify and then communicate your expectations to team members.
Peter talks about the importance of ensuring his team loves what they are doing and feels fulfilled, while still providing the support needed to meet company objectives.
Dan shares a successful example of hiring a recent employee with a 4x4, and discusses how your organization can use this upfront communication tool for better results.
