Building Hobby Lobby's Legacy—One Leader at a Time | Mart Green

Yeah, I'd say early mistakes that I learned was uh sometimes I knew that we I didn't have the right person, but I kept just hoping it would work out, making that hard decision to sell somebody, you know, you a different career. So I would say early on I did not let people go as early as I should have, even though I knew I'd hired wrong because I was learning how to hire. So obviously my skills weren't too good at doing that in the beginning. I learned uh through the process that actually it's a double negative.

One, I'm hiring somebody that I don't need, is not able to do the job. And two, they don't, they're not getting ready to go to their next opportunity.
