“Leading a team in turbulent times is difficult and Fire Your Hiring Habits is a refreshingly easy guide on how to do it well. This is a must-read for any manager. It’s a deeply human-centered book, great food for thought in the time of multiple crises. John encourages leaders to see the situation as a Great Reprioritization rather than a Great Resignation. As CEO of the fastest growing European electronics company, I am deeply convinced that our focus should shift from technology, machines, and factory buildings to the human beings creating the value every day.”
