Hire the Right W.H.O.M.
How to Build High Performing Teams with Work-Ethic, Heart, Optimism, and Maturity
What if you could hire with confidence—every time?
In Hire the Right W.H.O.M., Omar L. Harris reveals a revolutionary framework for building high-performing teams by focusing on what truly matters: Work Ethic, Heart, Optimism, and Maturity.
We’ve been taught to chase résumés, credentials, and polish. But the best hire on paper isn’t always the best hire in practice. When culture cracks and trust erodes, it’s not because of skill gaps—it’s because of character misalignment.
This book challenges everything you think you know about building winning teams.
Inside, Omar L. Harris debunks four costly myths:
-
High performance excuses low integrity
-
Culture fit is less important than experience
-
Star players make star teammates
-
Character can be trained later
Drawing on two decades of global executive leadership and the principles behind The J.E.D.I. Leader’s Playbook and Leader Board, Omar L. Harris introduces a game-changing approach that helps leaders hire for alignment, cohesion, and long-term success.
-
If you believe people are more than bullet points...
-
If you're ready to stop hiring fast and start hiring forever...
-
If you want to build teams that lead with trust and win with heart...
Start with W.H.O.M. — and build a legacy that lasts.
The Servant Leader's Manifesto
This book is a call to action for leaders to transform in the face of a global employee engagement crisis.
Leadership today is outmoded and ill-suited to activate and engage the most diverse work-force in history.
This is why leaders capable of inspiring, engaging, aligning, coaching, and coaxing out individual and team brilliance are more in need than ever before.
Hence the reason for this manifesto.
Paradoxically, the answer does not lie in systems but in humanity.
The more technology pervades our lives, the greater our need for clarity, courage, caring, culture, and talent cultivation—all things that machines cannot create for us.
We cannot wait for C-suite executives to respond appropriately to this crisis of employee engagement.
We—the managers responsible for the people who create value for our companies—must do this for ourselves, and our people.
This is our manifesto!
