Leaving a frontline leadership role open is painful.
It feels like bleeding resources.
But filling it too quickly is far worse.
Settling for “good enough” when hiring is a long-term disaster.
It guarantees mediocrity.
The right leader will multiply your team’s success.
The wrong one will drain it dry.
Endure the short-term struggle.
Don’t compromise.
“A slow, deliberate hire saves years of backtracking.” – Mike Brewer
