Feel the Energy

A great song brings emotions. The same with a great movie or book.

A great performer in the world of business does the same.

Does he or she make you smile? Do you feel his enthusiasm? Can you tell she's happy to work with your company?

Or is he sleepwalking through his career? Is she burdened by the prospect of more work to do? Is he doing you a favor by working for your company?

Our world is filled with energy-speak when it comes to our natural resources.

When it comes to people and business, it often comes down to energy. Does he or she have energy, intensity, enthusiasm?

Spell-Check is Getting Under My Skin

You know how to tell when you have it too easy, when you are fortunate?

When things like spell-check irritate you. I'm guilty of it. I actually have issues with why spell-check doesn't catch many of my most commonly misspelled words. Why shouldn't it get that?

Better yet. Why can't I learn to type and spell better? And why don't I appreciate what I have?

You Can't Teach Ethics or Integrity

A buddy of mine applying for a job filled out an employment test. It showed that he was lacking in a few areas such as organizational skills and dealing with confrontation.

As he was lamenting his performance on the test, he almost neglected to tell where he scored high: integrity and ethics. He was off-the-chart great in those areas.

I'd rather have a high-integrity but organizationally challenged person representing my company than one who is a genius in prioritizing yet can't be trusted.

You can teach and improve skills but you can't teach honestly.
