In this episode of the Culture Focused Practice podcast, I’m diving into the four most common hiring mistakes that group practice owners make and, more importantly, how to stop making them.

I’ve seen these mistakes firsthand (because I’ve made them, too), and I know how much bad hires can drain your time, money, and practice culture. So, let’s talk about why hiring too fast, ignoring red flags, over-prioritizing skills, and weak onboarding are wrecking your team (and what you can do instead).

00:00 Introduction to Hiring Mistakes (Let’s set the stage: why hiring mistakes cost more than you think.)
01:31 The Impact of Bad Hires (Spoiler: It’s more than just an annoying employee—it’s a full-on culture hit.)
04:39 Mistake #1: Hiring Too Fast (Desperation hiring = recipe for regret. Let’s slow it down.)
08:05 Mistake #2: Ignoring Red Flags (If you’re justifying weird behavior now, it’s gonna bite you later.)
12:36 Mistake #3: Prioritizing Skills Over Culture (Great on paper ≠ great for your team.)
17:03 Mistake #4: Weak Onboarding (A new hire without structure = instant disengagement.)
21:47 Closing Thoughts + What to Do Next
