After spending too much time and money because I'd rather avoid tough conversations, I finally learned the importance of "firing fast."
The concept of "hire slow, fire fast" has been popularized by startup culture, referring to the agility required to grow a company in a competitive environment.
In our first two years, we made five wrong hires that ended up costing $450K because we didn't "fire fast."
The most expensive thing about wrong hires is not money — it's time (and sadly sometimes friendships, as mentioned above).
While not all costs can be avoided — because you don't know what you don't know — they can be mitigated by "firing fast."
