Sometimes leaders are caught between a rock and a hard place. Would you rather promote an employee who isn't quite ready or roll the dice and try to hire from outside? Would you rather take your time onboarding new hires until they're fully ready or bring faster relief to your already-stretched-thin staff?
If you are wrestling with tough staffing decisions--I feel your pain. There are no easy answers. But, thankfully, there are insights from behavioral science and wisdom from lessons learned that can lead to the "least bad" choice--and help guide you to a brighter future. Navigating these dilemmas wisely will save you and your team a ton of headaches.
Because, at the end of the day... well sometimes we're just glad it's the end of the day.
