They warn against being overly optimistic, especially when hiring for the managerial level. They discuss how to establish a more effective hiring process to curtail the hidden costs of bad hires. And finally, they share insight on how work environment, challenging projects that maximize employees' talents, and thoughtful, appreciative perks can help retain that top talent once hired.
