I decided years ago not to hire on potential. It was one of the better business decisions I have made. Everyone in our team has potential. Lots of it. But that’s not the reason they work here.

They don’t have discipline, self confidence, inner motivation, focus, goals, that allow them to harness the raw talent into something useful. After all it’s not fair to the rest of the team to deal with a member who has the ability but for whatever reason might perform to their potential. Do you think…
