#111: The Worst Employee I've Ever Hired The Whiteboard Entrepreneur - with Devon Dickinson - Fuel The Entrepreneur in All Of Us!
-
- Entrepreneurship
In this episode, I’m sharing the details of one of the worst CEO hires I’ve ever made (and it’s a true story!). We’ll talk about some red flags I should have seen up front and why this particular hire was a nightmare of a leader — someone who lasted far longer than he should have and almost brought one of my companies to the ground. We’ll also talk about the importance of being teachable, why leaders and entrepreneurs should always be in a state of growth, and what the one common trait is that I see in most bad hires. Catch all of it and more in this episode of the Whiteboard Entrepreneur Podcast.
I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night. Although I now own several multimillion-dollar companies, I only started with $5,000 and a credit card. Before we get started, I should warn you that this is all true... I don't know the easy way in anything I only know “the hard way”. I want to help you avoid learning the hard way (where you can) through straightforward advice that will fuel the entrepreneur in ALL OF US!
