I recently had an ex-colleague who followed up with me as he was wanting to know the ‘rules’ or protocol around poaching employees from competitors. He was feeling a little squeamish about it and he felt it was ‘under-handed’ tactics as he put it.So I said to him, ‘From a young age we have been taught it’s OK to poach’. What do you mean? He said aghast!Just look at the fable of ‘Jack and The Beanstalk’. Jack…See More
