zadnje 3-4 leta naročam knjige izključno iz tujine…včasih tudi po 2-3 na mesec…v tem času sem pa naročil/kupil v sloveniji zelooo malo število knjig…lahko bi jih preštel na prste ene roke…:-)
in za to obstaja kar nekaj razlogov:
- literatura/informacije/knjige, ki jih jaz iščem v sloveniji niso dostopne, še manj pa v slovenskem jeziku…
- pa tudi če bi bile v slovenskem jeziku, bi vseeno raje izbral original v angleščini…se mi je že zgodilo, da včasih sploh nisem razumel kaj je bilo prevedeno (tudi po cel odstavek)…
- cena…kljub temu, da pride iz tujine (iz zelooo oddaljene amerike) in da moram plačat še poštnino, je še vedno ceneje kot pri nas…pri nas redko dobiš knjigo pod 4000-5000 sit…
največ naročam iz amazona in pa alibrisa…iz prvega bolj nove knjige, iz drugega pa bolj rabljene knjige…
in še nikoli nisem imel nobenih problemov…nikoli…
do prejšnjega meseca…:-)
naročil sem knjigo topgrading: how leading companies win by hiring, coaching and keeping the best people…
in kaj se je zgodilo…POSLALI SO MI 2 IZVODA, ZARAČUNALI PA SAMO 1…
ja, čisto za res…najprej sem domov dobil 1 knjigo in potem čez nekaj dni zopet drugo knjigo…
in potem sem šel pogledat, če so mi mogoče 2x dol potegnili denar…in ne, samo 1x so mi računali, obe knjigi…tako da imam 1 izvod PREVEČ…
in zato ga želim PODARITI nekomu…mogoče tebi dragi obiskovalec bloga…
zdaj, jaz še knjige nisem prebral, zato ti ne morem povedati, če je v redu ali ne…če se jo splača imeti ali ne…
lahko ti pa ponudim kratek izsek iz e-novic, na katere sem naročen in v katerih sem zasledil to knjigo…
here it goes:
TRUE OR FALSE?
Is it true or false that hiring the wrong person can cost your business over a million dollars (even if your business is new and you don't HAVE a million dollars)?
Here's MY answer:
TRUE: Hiring the wrong person can not only cost you more money than you can imagine, it can also cost you AGGRAVATION and wasted time... not to mention making good customers and other team members stop working with you. More on this in a minute.
HIRING THE WRONG PERSON...
...How Much It Costs And How To Avoid It...
Let me throw some big, scary-sounding facts and numbers at you (and I'm talking about facts and numbers you're probably not even going to believe- but stay with me, because this is VERY important if you want to save a lot of time and money):
-Most people that are hired are the WRONG person
-If you HIRE the wrong person, you'll be afraid to fire them (and firing them will be a huge hassle, if you can even get up the nerve to do it)
-If you KEEP the wrong person, they will make your business and your life HELL
-In YOU find yourself in any of these situations, it is DEFINITELY going to cost you a lot of time and money
I often quote my friend Brad Smart, who wrote a fantastic book on hiring called "Topgrading"...
Brad did a study, and calculated that the AVERAGE cost of a "mis-hire" (meaning hiring the wrong person) is...
...can you guess? I'm serious, take a guess...
...OVER TWO MILLION DOLLARS.
(Did I mention that you probably weren't going to believe my huge numbers?)
By the way, I said AVERAGE. That's right, it's not the "high end" of how much it costs.
So how could this be? Seriously?
Consider the following:
1) The cost of finding the person in the first place, in terms of your personal time, the money you invested
2) The time it took you to interview the person, follow up with them, make them an offer, and actually do the hiring
3) The money it cost you to "set them up" in your business - including all the stuff you didn't even realize you'd have to buy for them
4) The time it took you to train them and teach them how your business worked
5) The actual money you paid them, including the "extra" you paid for their social security tax, their worker's comp, any other benefits... etc.
OK... that's the obvious stuff. Got that all in your head?
Now how about...
6) The things you WEREN'T doing because you were spending time looking for, interviewing, hiring, training, and talking to this new person
7) The opportunities you missed because you were focused on getting your new team member "up to speed" in hopes that they'd save you time later
8) The "catch up" you had to play after they left and YOU were the one who had to wear two hats just to get back to "even" again
9) How far behind you are because now you have to start over looking again... considering the time and risk that the next person you find is very likely to wind up being the wrong person AGAIN
10) The secrets they learned and took - and maybe even the reality that they went into business as your competitor (don't shake your head, this just happened to a friend of mine)
So what's all that worth, in terms of cold, hard cash?
A few bucks, for sure. Let's say it took you three months to find them in the first place, and then six months to get them trained to the point where they weren't taking up more of your time than they were saving...
Can I get you to agree that this might COST you a lot more than you originally thought it would?
AND THAT'S THE BEST CASE SCENARIO... by the way.
