About Never Hire Your Friends: Leading Your Workplace Through Genuine Connection

Conventional wisdom says you should never do business with friends or family, and that’s fine if you just want to tolerate or get along with the people at work.

But if you want to love the people you work with and lead them effectively, build a community of friendship in the workplace. Let’s call it Friendship Management—and let’s enjoy going to work with the people we love.

Never Hire Your Friends is an extremely personal, in-depth look into Marcylle Combs’s experience building multiple profitable companies based on the idea that by bucking conventional wisdom and hiring friends and family, you’ll learn how friendship management truly works. She and her team thrived with laughter and joy, grounded in principles of honor, humility, honesty, and integrity.

From the employee sweeping the floor to the one writing the checks, every person was an integral part of Marcylle’s company, not just another cog in the wheel. Friendship Management encourages team members to adopt the common family values of considering others before yourself and celebrating each other’s accomplishments. This approach drives employees to engage in their work and align their attitude with the team vision. An overall happier workforce is felt by the customers and, of course, the bottom line!

We always have a choice in life. We can stick to the norm and say, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” or we can become the disrupter, the one who rejects the status quo.

Friendship Management challenges you to risk being known and vulnerable in the workplace, but the payoff is well worth the risk for you, your staff, and your investors.

Are you ready to take on the status quo of your workplace? This book offers real-world examples from the woman who has successfully led her businesses using the principles of Friendship Management. Don’t hire your friends if you want to spend the rest of your working hours with less joy and less passion. But if you truly want to see people’s lives changed, including your own, jump into the deep end—with your friends—to see how far you can go together!
