“I never do anything by the book,” she adds.
Her opening remarks on the show go something like this: “I don’t speak the King’s English.” Indeed, that’s the case. His concept to give the “power to the people” sold the show to Spike TV.īut Webber is not your typical television star. So what if you were put in charge of not only picking your boss, but the entire company was?” Ten years ago at Microsoft, Hochberg says he got to hire his own boss. Before the premiere, he told media: “No one seems to listen to the 99 percent anymore. The Hiring Squad concept was a brainchild of producer Justin Hochberg of “The Apprentice” fame. And post-show, she’s not making any bold moves to move into the background at one of the largest landcape firms in the Midwest.

In reality – not in reality TV – Webber was not actively searching on a national level for a replacement. They have to pick people who are going to be good on TV.” “I didn’t believe they would find anyone – and they found three candidates, who of course, had to be characters. “I wasn’t going to pay for that.” But the network did.
Webber never would have invested in a national search, she says. I started this business and I built this business, and I have my top 10 around me who have helped build this business – and that was part of the drama of the show.” “I would really love to have that someone,” she says. Sure, Webber would like for a highly qualified leader who’s a cultural fit to join the firm and help take over operations. The network glossed it up as “putting power in the hands of employees by giving them the chance to choose their own boss.” So, Spike brought in three candidates, who “tried out” to be the boss by working with crews for a week.
That way, Webber could settle into the background a bit, enjoy her two young boys and wife. It was time for the straight-shooter, former gym teacher – who turned a neighborhood lawn business into a $35 million empire to find a No. The show trailer claimed that Webber was ready to find a replacement. It was high drama in “The Hiring Squad: Meet the New Boss,” which aired on Spike TV in October last year. Webber’s television debut was no napkin-folding, hydrangea-planting, container-designing segment. But that’s not exactly what rolled out on network TV last fall. The team at Christy Webber Landscapes in Chicago thinks that Martha and Webber would make a nice match, too. “I’m sort of the guy she already has on the show except I’m a girl.” “She’s all foofy with gardening and I run trucks,” she says. If Christy Webber had it her way, she’d team up with Martha Stewart and “be the yin to her yang” as the female, rugged landscaper on the home and garden show.
