The Cost of a Wrong Hire

What happens when the person you hire isn’t the right fit and the problem might actually be you?

In this episode of UH-OH Conversations with Cohesive Leaders, Dan Rivers gets real about one of the costliest leadership mistakes he’s made: hiring without clarity. From setting poor expectations to skipping over KPIs, Dan walks us through what it cost him, how he owned the failure, and the systems he’s built to avoid it happening again.

We also dig into how self-reflection, headspace, and intentional hiring shape the health of a business — and how job seekers can prepare to show up with purpose, not just a resume.

You’ll hear:

• Why clarity beats charisma in hiring
• The surprising headspace toll of the wrong teammate
• How leaders and job seekers can learn from hiring fails
• What it really means to hold people (and yourself) accountable

Whether you’re building a team or trying to join one, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and honest insight from someone who’s been there, fixed that and is still learning.

Whether you're climbing the leadership ladder or helping others do the same, this conversation is a masterclass in humility, growth, and getting it right after getting it wrong.Hear real-time stories from leaders confessing their most crucial or recent "UH-OH" experiences in business. Learn what their "UH-OH" cost them, steps they took to fix it, and how they planned not to "do that one" again. Hosted by Dr. Troy and Ben-Jamin Toy.
