It is a common weakness of hiring managers and desperate owners alike. We hire people that are not the right fit and spend most of our time trying to get them to change once they are working in the cafe. This leaves us burned out, it leaves the employee frustrated, and the business suffers in the process.  Today on Shift Break we will be talking about how e can avoid hiring the wrong people for the shop by focusing our effort away from trying to conform people that should not have been hired to begin with, and instead spend our energy identifying what is needed and who the right fits are before hiring.  If we could just solve this one thing, coffee shops would drastically change for the better.    Related episodes: SHIFT BREAK!
