Meticulously outlining an arsenal of cutting-edge tools and strategies tied to predicting performance and a "passion for excellence," David Snyder has developed what may be a paradigm shift in our understanding of the way high-performing individuals can be identified, selected, and professionally coached. Drawing on Snyder's interviews with a team of performance and hiring experts nationwide, How to Hire a Champion will help all leaders to build: -- A better model and process for selecting and retaining high-performing individuals. -- Stronger teams and a customer-centered, results-driven culture. -- A self-directed "culture of greatness" where top performers and top managers in all departments help and inspire each other.
