Beyond a well defined skill set, a strong work ethic, or being the consummate team player, the lucky few have the “It” factor.
It’s a health blend of charisma, personality, quiet effectiveness and enviable leadership skills. They get the job done in ways that leave others shaking their heads in disbelief. They manage to garner resources, and get called to close out the tough deals. And they usually succeed.
The “It” factor is an intangible value that is not something that we can teach our people. When you see it in that rare individual, nurture them, reward them and smile all the way to the bank.
