Hiring the Right Person
Ballroom II
For most managers, the most important decisions you make are hiring decisions. Hiring
for a vacancy is a rare opportunity to make a significant positive change in your
organization-and the rarer it is, the more important you get it right. Additionally, the
consequences of making a poor hiring decision can be expensive and long term. Marci
Wright will take us through key steps to maximize the likelihood your opportunity to find
the right person for your planning department.
