Don´t Send Your Ducks to Eagle School

Don´t Send Your Ducks to Eagle School

                        


  

          The first rule of management is this: don´t send your ducks to eagle school. Why? Because it won´t work. Good people are found, not changed. They can change themselves, but you can´t change them. If you want good people, you have to find them, not
motivate them.
I picked up a magazine not long ago in a Lisbon Hotel that had a full page ad in it for a hotel chain. The first line on the ad read, “ We do not teach our people to be nice.” Now that got my attention! The second line said, “ We hire nice people.” I thought, “ What a clever shortcut!”
Motivation is a mystery.
Why are some people motivated and some are not?
Why does one sales person see his first prospect at seven in the morning while other sees his first prospect at eleven in the morning?  
Why would one start at seven and the other star at eleven?
I don´t know.
Like Jim Rohn said: “Mysteries of the mind…”
