Private equity investors & execs agree:

The #1 predictor of a strong exit for a portfolio company is the strength of leadership1.

But when it comes to making high-stakes hiring decisions, the odds aren't working in PE investors' favor:

Only 14% of leaders excel at getting the right team into place. 

50% of hires fail to deliver the expected results in the first 12 - 18 months. 

The average cost of a mishire can be 3x - 15x that person's salary. 

The costliest mistakes in private equity tend to be hiring mistakes. Why? People drive performance.

Meet your guide: Dan Cremons

Early in my career as an investor and operator in SMBs, I learned the hard way:  hiring is one of the most important, yet most challenging and broken processes in business. Case-in-point: 50% of new hires fail within 18mo. 

To make matters worse, once new hires are made, managers are failing to tap into the full potential of these employees. The average manager reports to be tapping into only 65% of the capabilities their people have to offer. 

These challenges create a major tax on teams and their companies. Employees are less productive and engaged. Managers are less effective. And their companies' performance is put at risk. 

​​But on the flip side, when managers are able to make smarter hiring decisions more consistently, and have some of the essential tools they need to bring out more of their peoples' best stuff, it means stronger business performance, a higher likelihood of achieving your business goals, and greater career success. 

That’s precisely why I created Hire to Win. To equip ambitious leadership teams with the skills, tools, and coaching they need to hire smarter and lead more effectively… in 90 days.
