Kicking Ass and Taking Names, (Paperback)

This book will instruct you on how to do hiring and firing the proper way. It will also illustrate some real-life examples of how to screw it up, and I've done it both ways during my 40 year career in Human Resources. The book also throws in some humorous incidents that have occurred along the way, just to help maintain some sanity over the years. (You just gotta laugh at some of this stuff.) The book also offers a rather detailed roadmap for Managers to follow to help resolve workplace issues in a fair and equitable manner. Anyone who is working in a management position, or hopes to someday, will be involved in the hiring and firing process, sooner or later. Many Managers have described this as the most difficult parts of their job, particularly the firing part. This book will offer you some guidance in these areas and will use actual examples to show you how to do it right and how to do it wrong. We usually end up having to fire our hiring mistakes. So, I'll walk you through that process, step by step, to help you do it correctly, and avoid some of the mistakes I have made along the way. At the end of the day, you have to be able to go home and sleep soundly at night, knowing that the actions you have taken during the day were the right thing, for everyone involved.
