title: Misdiagnosing New Hires Is Costly.
abstract: Winning the war for talent will propel profitable practices ahead of the competitive flow. Today there are psychometric tools that can support busy leaders who are tired of a range of disappointments, from mis-hires to underperforming employees. This article discusses several of these assessment tools, addressing when and where they should be used. Additionally, it shows how by adopting the three Ds--Diagnosis, Determine, and Decide--you can stop losing money, stop the employee aggravation, and reduce your stress.
