Review
"In Fire Your Hiring Habits, Dr. John Mitchell brings his
global perspective and extensive corporate and academic
experience to bare. He takes a uniquely realistic and commonsense
approach to embracing and understanding workforce
development. I recommend this book to anyone who manages
people in the post-COVID-19 world."

"This is the book I wish I had while commanding a Carrier
Strike Group for the US Navy. For leaders in any missiondriven
organization, John Mitchell's Fire Your Hiring Habits
is not merely a must-read book, it's a must-do plan of action
to find and keep the most talented individuals. His insights
are just as relevant to the military and governmental organizations
as they are to the private sector. Apply these concepts
before your competition does!"

"Leading a team in turbulent times is difficult and Fire
Your Hiring Habits is a refreshingly easy guide on how to
do it well. This is a must-read for any manager. It's a deeply
human-centered book, great food for thought in the time of
multiple crises. John encourages leaders to see the situation as
a Great Reprioritization rather than a Great Resignation. As
CEO of the fastest growing European electronics company, I
am deeply convinced that our focus should shift from technology,
machines, and factory buildings to the human beings
creating the value every day."

leaders a tellingly holistic guide to overcoming key components
of the workforce development challenges we face today.
His (for some maybe uncomfortable) spot-on analysis spells
out what we all experience in small and large companies all
over the globe, showing a path to a new post-pandemic work
environment. Galvanizing, essential, visionary-must-read."
