Hiring the wrong person is not just a bad HR decision. It can damage morale, delay projects, frustrate top performers, and turn a strong team into a daily rescue mission.
In this episode of Ignoring the Rules podcast, Wayne Robertson breaks down the red flags leaders must watch for when interviewing new team members.

Leaders need to listen for patterns: blame, negativity, lack of ownership, no curiosity, poor teamwork, and the inability to admit failure.

The wrong hire can wreck everything.
