What Winners Do To Be Winners
By Ron | July 4, 2010
Do you know what winners do to be winners? I’ve told people whom I have trained over the years that the answer to this question has always been available in the Sunday paper. I was reminded of that fact today – the cover story of USA Weekend was, “Winning American Style.” In the article, we get the advice from “the reining champs” of the TV reality shows and it’s the same stuff (or variations thereof) I’ve read over and over….
- Focus on the task at hand
- Pat attention to detail
- Make friends wherever you can
- Never give up
- Free you mind and the rest will follow (block out the obstacles)
So what does this have to do with Human Resources or Management? To me, everything. I’ve always maintained that the key to running a successful company is hiring winners and provide a winning environment. Yes, it is that simple. If we in HR can screen our applicants for the above winning traits, we will not only be the heroes of the organization (probably the unsung heroes), our companies will grow and prosper.
