I want to share a letter I penned to all hiring managers from the perspective of the "A" player looking for work.  Listen to what this person has to say.  Absorb it.  Act upon it.  If you recover from COVID-19 with the same team you had…or worse, a weaker team…shame on you!  If you are a CEO, HR manager, or anyone who oversees hiring for an organization…this is for you!

I made a commitment to myself several years ago that I would live my life like a proton.  My mission in life is to spread my positive charge to everyone I meet, with every encounter, and with every opportunity to speak or teach others.  Of course, we know there are many electrons (negative charge) and even some neutrons with no charge at all.  Being positive is a choice.  We choose our particle.

Stop being so nice all the time.  It makes people want to puke; enough already!  Like eating too much candy at one time, it just doesn’t sit well on the stomach.  There is a difference in being nice and being kind.  Clear is kind. Accountability is kind.  Consistency is kind.  Discipline is kind.  Too many people confuse niceness with kindness.  There is a vast difference between being kind to someone and the fakeness of being nice all the time.

Imagine small children playing a game of tag close to a large pride of lions on the savannas of Africa. Can you see it?  This perilous situation is the reality facing most sales professionals today.  Innocence and ignorance are two sides of the same reality.  Most salespeople are both innocent and ignorant.  They are innocent until they have been violated by a cruel prospect.  They are ignorant because they lack the capability (skills and knowledge) to engage with a prospect for success.

I have committed to stop giving a crap about too many things at one time.  I am not saying this is easy.  I am predisposed to worry so giving a crap is definitely in my “wheelhouse” as they say.  I have learned we only have a certain amount of bandwidth for what matters in life.  It is easy to dilute our present with too many things that just don’t matter in the long-run.
