“How to Hire a Champion is highly accessible and thought provoking. It has the uncanny power of putting the reader in multiple positions—that of candidate, hiring manager, CEO, and coworker—so as to provide 360 degree insight into the optimal hiring process. Moreover, its emphasis on character, self-competition, and persistence raise it to another level—one of guidance and inspiration for the same 360 degree set of individuals. It is a book to be read again for its deeper meanings. I recommend it to all and especially to my children.”

“David’s insight into what it takes to hire a champion challenges much of the prevailing wisdom. He looks at character and competency in individuals in novel ways that provide you a different basis for decision-making. His detailed analysis of what a champion is gives you concrete tools you can use today to improve your interviewing skills and your hiring processes.”

“David’s whole philosophy of ‘Picking the Best and Challenging the Rest’ is backed up by real science, powerful tools, and insightful metrics. He has helped us increase our energy level, development, and performance—for the largest fashion industry trade show in the world.”

“Everyone talks about the importance of metrics today in assessing and selecting teams, but very few people see the big picture the way David does. This book takes extremely critical and complex issues in hiring and makes them amazingly simple. It is a gift.”
