Episode 11 of the Kick Ass w/Klaas podcast and we're talking frogs, princes and the 4 reasons that great talent fails! We've all been there, attracted to potential but married to disappointment. In our careers or relationships, we ignore red flags and trust that our influence or talent alone can resolve a 'work in progress'. But if the here and now is stalling your own potential, then we're fooling ourselves in thinking it will get better.

So how do we find ourselves kissing (professional) frogs...or turning from a prince to a frog ourself?

It's a two headed monster:

1) Organization's see potential in candidates even though they aren't prepared to nurture that talent

2) Employees are so clouded by the attractiveness of a new job, that they ignore the fact that this prince, sure does kiss like a frog

In this episode we discuss the 4 reasons that even the best of talent, fails: Poor Fit, Disengagement, Organizational Politics and Personal Circumstances.
