The adage goes that if you’re going to hire, hire for attitude and train for skill.
But I’d argue attitude is as much a skill as the job you’re hiring for.
And even when you hire someone with a great attitude, it’s on you to nurture it the same as you grow the actual skills required for the tasks they’re doing.
Great leaders train their team members on both accounts.
Stay Positive & Grow The ‘Tude
