Maybe it starts when you are a kid. My son brought home from his elementary school a bookmark that says "Today's Readers, Tomorrow's Leaders." The bookmark was stuck in the book he's reading, The Wimpy Kid Diary. So it made me think about business wimps. Could it be that this is why I hear so many excuses for business failure and lack of sales? Let's explore some very interesting facts.

Don’t consider this a normal distribution when you categorize your “A”, “B” and “C” performers. “A” performers are those that always meet their performance targets, have high level of professional competence and receive high performance marks for their service skills and problem resolution skills. “B” players need some development and learning to enhance their skill sets and achieve high motivation.

My opinion whether you like it or not. A – Players have guts, courage and a skill. Don’t always succeed, in the conventional wisdom of the day but they do blaze trails to enrich our lives, force different thinking and test conventional wisdom. Some males might call this something else, but I have met some very smart females that have guts and skill.

Yes. Pressure is on. Businesses are re-engineering everything in order compete. Operations, Sales, Markets, Processes, and Budgets.
Our research indicates trends in administrative work and expectations by HR talent are at a peak. HR is point and center. Most HR professionals don’t have the business acumen skills necessary to contribute.

– Great Business Leaders Continue to Wonder Why?
It’s amazing to me that evidence supports now more than ever smart business people make horrible talent decisions. Doesn’t matter whether it’s for hiring, development, retention or not having the guts to address poor performance and send the employee on their way.
It’s also amazing to me that smart business people are willing to accept the consequences of making bad talent decisions, and suffer the consequences of poor business results. Even knowing ahead of time their reality.
