Leadership failures don't start with poor performance. They start with poor selection.
The wrong executive hire destabilizes culture, erodes trust, and destroys enterprise value. Even so, most organizations still make their highest-stakes leadership decisions on polished interviews, impressive résumés, and even "gut instinct."
In The Defining Hire, George Randle—former U.S. Army officer, global talent executive, and co-author of the bestselling book The Talent War—delivers a disciplined, repeatable system for getting executive selection right. Drawing on a career spanning more than 80,000 hires across 60 countries, Randle demonstrates how to define success before the search begins, interview for patterns instead of polish, and use structured assessment to cut through bias.
With contributions from Navy SEAL commander Rich Diviney and Athena Alliance founder Coco Brown, The Defining Hire shows you exactly how to make the most consequential decision in business: who gets trusted with the mission.
Selection is destiny. Who you select is what your organization becomes.
