When I started supporting companies with hiring, as well as when I was the hiring manager, a resource I leaned on was “Who” by Geoff Smart and Randy Street.

Here’s how to bring that superhero mindset into leadership today:

Here’s a riddle: what do you get when you hand strategic business decisions over to a machine that is riddled with outdated and harmful information?
