How to Know You Made a Good Hire

In Dale Dauten’s book The Gifted Boss he helps an employer know when he/she has hired the right person.

1. You’ve hired the right person when you’re crazy about them.
2. You’ve hired the right person if you lie awake at night thanking God that they work for you.
3. You’ve hired the right person when you lie there worrying that they might leave to work for someone else.
4. You’ve hired the right person when you spend time thinking of how you can make them happier.

This resonated with me because this is true of the people I’ve hired at New Day. And this is what I want to be true of each person we add to our team in the future.
