Hire Internally Like Ted Lasso
Why internal hiring is a winning play, as Apple TV+’s beloved soccer series demonstrates.
No matter whether you’re running a business or a soccer team, it’s difficult to find reliable talent — but you might already have it. With no guarantee that a new hire will be a good fit, it’s a good idea to look at internal hiring to fill your available spots.
