Great People Decisions is an essential strategy guide for managers, executives and HR professional. This is the first book that looks at hiring and promoting great people from a business perspective. Great People Decisions is about how finding the right person is critical to the long term success of any business. The right people make the right decisions and these are the kind of people who create success. Great People Decisions will convey Fernandez-Araoz's insights about finding and hiring great people such as: The importance of shedding all emotional biases when conducting an interview. The information requirements that drive the search are far more important than the specific assessment techniques that are used. The specific people involved in the appointment are also more important than the assessment techniques. In most cases, people who have the power to make power-related decisions don't have the knowledge and people who have the knowledge don't have the power. The broader the search, on average, the better the candidate.
