If you can’t seem to figure out why your brilliant newcomers are not panning out, you’ll need to take a step back and examine what actually makes someone successful in a career.
Years ago in one of our businesses my father took a chance on a young lady who never finished high school. There was some intangible that he saw in her so he took the chance. That young lady worked for the company her entire life and retired from it in her 60’s many years ago…it took my father’s intuition to somehow recognize that despite no high school diploma she seemed worthy of a chance. And he was right!
