And, absolutely no one feels motivated by saving stamps. Let me cut to the chase. There is no Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny does not exist and I owe an apology to the man who insisted that job performance depended more on hiring the right person than it did with having the right manager, the right training program, or working in the right company, combined. I wished I had learned this lesson sooner. Business and job skills do not come from reading books.
Ideas come from books.
Business and job skills come from a combination of your genetic dispositions and your learned ability. You may try to become someone else, but you will achieve a better return on your time by discovering and enhancing your existing skills. The same goes for people in jobs. If your business is climbing trees, it is easier to hire a monkey than to train a chicken. This applies to career development, succession planning, promotions, reorganization, development, or whatever people do in life.
