You would rather have a hole than a asshole – Jacobs(Head of talent at Apple Computers)
In my previous posts i had said that you need a few soul
mates to balance you off, that’s quite true but you do not need anyone who does
not add value to your business or life. These are the cynics, naysayers, dream
killers, unreliable, cannot take a bullet for you, always late because they
were doing something, they are always right, think highly of themselves, disrespect
the opinions of others and want to do it all by themselves.
If you have a friend, partner, employee fitting the above
description it’s time to stop having an asshole cut your losses, you would be
better off without them. You need people who encourage possibilities and make
you more creative, their work is good and always a pleasure to hear from them.
Sometime we keep telling ourselves that one day they are
going to change but let me tell you to your face that they will always find a
way to screw things. Letting go does not mean that you hate them but you respect
them and want to be happy. Happiness is an aggregation of moments we spend with
people around us.
You will still also meet Kick Asses, they are the most
passionate, Dreamers, fearless, hardworking, good people skills (Has something
for everyone), they are ready to die for you or a cause they believe in, they
may not be geniuses but they somehow get things/work done on time. Never let
them go, they bring the energy to live to see another day fit perfectly in your
life/Business.
