When it comes to hiring, I will die on this hill:

You cannot teach someone how to be a good person and a delight to work with.

A2: My dad: 1) “For all the time you’ve spent talking about it, you could have done it by now.” 2) “Oh yes you will go to that interview. You’re not living here!” 😂 #toughloveisthebestlove #resiliencechat

A2: Get out of the way. Lead from within the group, not from above it. Squash your ego. Let them try. Take responsibility when they fail. Give away credit when they succeed. #RelationSHIFT
