most places you go into the employees look like fugitives from a fatfarm...Not to mention any names but my son’s company requires their people to be under a certain BMI number. If they are over they pay a percentage of their healthcare based on how far over they are.
most places you go into the employees look like fugitives from a fatfarm...Just a thought.
Do they have an officer linebacker?
Sure...put Barry Bonds, Mike Tyson or Mike McQueary type in a position of trust.
No fat bastards.
I’d rather hire polite, well-spoken, intelligent nerds than arrogant, jacked-up, over-testosteroned meatheads.
Athlete types are great for the lowest levels of an organization, coaches are great for team leaders and foremen, but you definitely don’t want athletes where you need people who can work and think independently, which is pretty much everywhere above “clerk”.
I coached a basketball traveling team. It’s like the Old West. You go out to private tournaments and look for the best to compete with. I also coached a team from a small Christian School. There are a few good coaches, but most coaches are trying to get to the next level. That is their focus. It’s not at all like it used to be. Teamwork? Not important. What’s his time in the forty yards? Is he coachable? Not important. What’s his vertical leap? Give me a company of fattys who can work together and I can beat 90% of the competitors focused on how their employees look. And the 10% who might beat us would mostly just be lucky.
True athletes - - at least those who have the slightest clue - - are NEVER liberals. Liberals are clumsy oafs.
He doesn’t like to talk about it but I hear Bill Gates won several decathlons before getting into computers.
Motivational cant, piped in to a sterile conference room for all eternity, is Dantean as it gets for me. The horror...the horror.
2. Athletes achieve their goals. If one avenue is blocked, they find another path to success. If their physical strength has given out, they learn to work smarter, not harder. As they learn to become more effective they become more efficient.
3. Athletes develop new skills. Even though an athlete is highly specialized at certain skills, such as speed, blocking, or hand-eye coordination, they are also good at adapting to scenarios that call for cross-functional skills....
Athletes get 3 credit hours for changing a light bulb with only two instructor assists...
Pretty people have assured prospects of employment. What a shock.
Good thing we ugly folk build businesses...
