Herrenkohl explains a simple and effective strategy for finding and hiring great employees.  Having superior employees isn’t only about building a great business.  It’s about having a great life outside of your business.  B-players require handholding.  When you hire and lead A-players, you build a team of Shortcuts, people who make money for you whether or not you’re in the office.  When you look at it that way, you realize that you can’t afford to settle for average employees any longer.  This book shows you how to raise the bar, find and hire stars, and enjoy life while your business grows.

Michael Gerber, author of the E-Myth and the recent bestseller The Most Successful Small Business in the World has endorsed the book along with a number of CEOs, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and others. Business Week just ran a feature on it as well.  You can check out the book site here www.howtohireaplayers.com or buy it on Amazon http://amzn.to/amazonhowtohireaplayers.
