When people in an organization are not philosophically aligned to the existing vision and mindset, they are doomed to fail. I have often heard that we should ‘hire for talent, and retain for character’. Part of that character is a common mindset. I’ll take that any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
A shared vision and a shared passion go a long way to streamline a meeting of the minds. Sometimes it’s just easier to cut ones losses and wait for the stars to align.
