When You Can't Find Perfect People
The people I want to hire aren’t concerned with whether the glass is half empty or half full. They’re concerned with figuring out how to fill the thing up.
Bosses who tell you they can't hire good workers are usually telling you they're poor bosses. They're telling you they aren't providing sufficient incentive for people to meet their standards. Or if they have provided the incentive, they haven't provided sufficient nuts and bolts, real-world training and direction, leaving their people wanting to climb the mountain but without a clear enough trail to follow. To mix metaphors a bit, they aren't adding enough water to the glass.
