Thank you for this book!

Concise, engaging and very helpful for both hiring and firing! I have listened to the audio book twice now! Thank you Brian Tracy!!

outstanding

this book has been well thought out and put together in perfection. I am glad I read this book

Be less tolerant

Today’s society wants to give everyone a participation trophy. That doesn’t work when livelihoods. The most successful companies were incredibly hard and tedious to apply and get hired. I gained a few good insights to hiring and Firing. Ive ran a business for over17 years and still felt like I learned a few things here.

Core Ideas... Core Principles

Every manager needs to listen to it once a year .... some times once a month ...

Very Helpful!

I wish I had read this about 10 years ago. I oversee a small company with about 20 employees. What I have learned from this book not only will help me in the hiring process, but also in the active management process. And it will help me in the firing, that inevitably happens in all organizations. I recently had to fire someone and if I had received the information from this book earlier, I would’ve done it a lot sooner which would’ve made it much easier for everyone. Thank you, Brian!

Great book to reference when hiring and firing

Great book, tons of gold nuggets of actual experience. A must listen for anyone in the position of hiring and firing

Great overall book on how to hire and fire employees

I loved this book I am currently looking to hire my first employee and I am so happy I found this book as I would have made mistakes mentioned in this book, a must listen to existing companies and new startups

Informative

This book has great information on how to hire and fire people with grace and kindness. I’m a type of person who is soft in how I do things and talk to people. The information in this book helps hire and fire with confidence respect and kindness.

Short read and some good nuggets

The book is direct and conveys the knowledge quickly. The advice is practical and there are good sections. However, some of the advice is outdated - as long as you take it with a grain of salt and decide for yourself if it is relevant in today's world. In addition, the same advice is given for hiring first line workers as well as executives. Tips such as "rejecting the candidate" to see if they come back to apply again in a year won't work for most companies.
