“Bad Apple in the Bunch?”

As a hiring manager and leader in your organization, you have a lot of responsibility.  Keeping your team excited, motivated, and ensuring that projects are finished on time and on budget are the key parts of your job – and your success.  Most managers realize that having the right people in place is crucial to the success of the organization.  But what happens when the wrong candidate gets the job?
