Best way to create a positive environment by starting at the person you choose to hire

Some new managers look to hire their own contacts when they start a job, unfairly pushing out great workers. But when we oversee people we didn't hire (or even difficult to fire), we're forced to step up in service to our employees. We get in a position to get to know them and their motivations and needs.

Some hiring managers are unbelievable! They are downright disgraceful and condescending. They treat you like a number on a spreadsheet without respect for your background or desire to work. The increasing dehumanisation of the Human Resource function is a trend that needs to be addressed.

What I uncovered when hiring is that when we tried a one-size-fits-all, talent-checks-all-the-boxes approach, it didn't work for us.
