Hiring a leader is never just about what’s on their resume. Skills may get someone in the door, but culture, values, and trust determine whether they thrive or derail your investment.
In this episode of The Right Fit Leader Podcast, Alec Broadfoot is joined by John Vidosh to break down the leadership traps that cause even the most promising hires to fail:
Hiring for the “briefcase”: focusing on skills while ignoring values and culture fit.
Abdication vs. onboarding: expecting new hires to succeed without structured training and daily coaching.
The micromanagement trap: how fear of losing control keeps visionaries from building real trust.
Founder interference: why “swooping in to fix” undermines leaders and stunts growth.
At VisionSpark, we’ve seen that success comes from more than selecting the right leader. It is about creating clarity, building trust, and empowering people to lead. This conversation is a playbook for visionaries who want to avoid costly mis-hires, retain top talent, and step into true leadership.
