AMA: Do People Just Suck?

DARREN HARDY LLC
About this episode

Today's episode features another Ask Me Anything question from our listeners. Darren answers Timothy Morris's question: "I work as a manager for a restaurant chain. How do I get others to be on the same page as I am regarding doing what needs to be done to be a more productive work environment? I am tired of feeling like the "one man" running around accomplishing things only to have them undone by my afternoon and evening shifts. I'm starting to feel the burn." In response, Darren reveals some of what he teaches in his Business Master Class about hiring.
