Cross-Boarding: The Onboarding Reset Every Leader Needs — with Rohit Bassi

Cross-Boarding: The Onboarding Reset Every Leader Needs — with Rohit Bassi

What if "onboarding" is the wrong word entirely?

This week, Javier sits down with Rohit Bassi — founder of People Quotient (PQ), private equity veteran, Wharton MBA, McKinsey alum, and author of The People Priority: The CEO's Blueprint for Winning Talent Acquisition.

Inside this episode, Rohit unpacks a third quotient most leaders have never named — and reframes a process every company thinks it does well: onboarding.
