Drive > Compliance

Mixing A Drink

Those who I have been involved with interviewing and who have been hired? The ones that had drive outperformed and outstayed the ones who were perfectly capable of complying.

Word cues like “I want to” or “I love” or “I’m passionate about” outweigh phrases like “I can do” or “I would do anything if asked” or “I’m willing to jump in.”

The same goes for relationships, too. When one expresses how they want to be the best mother possible or when one shares how much they appreciate one another every day.

Having drive beats being ready to comply every time.

Oh, and I guess drive isn’t something you have it’s a choice.

Stay Positive & Get Behind The Wheel
