Maybe Employers Should Screen Out Hiring the Ambitious

 Are the ambitious a menace in organizations? 

Too often they are one-dimensionally focused on achieving their professional goals, not moving the dial on those of the organization. Functioning as a stand-alone closed system they can gum up the works. Along the way they usually derail their own careers. For instance, the joke in elite law firms is that grinders finish last. 

On Substack I discuss the plight of the ambitious. What can turn around the situation is being roughed up. That can happen at the onset of a career or in middle age as with the late Lee Iacocca. The former iconic GE professional training institution Crontonville is said only to have admitted employers who already had been knocked around.

In interviewing at professional schools law firms such as Skadden, Simpson and Paul and management consulting ones such as McKinsey, Boston Consulting and Deloitte should ask: How ambitious are you? Should the answer be very, the applicants should be rejected out-right.

Thriving in crazy times starts from the inside.

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different?

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic hea...

Changed Social Norms - Today Michael Corleone Would Probably Feel No Guilt in Having Fredo Offed

Image
  "Godfather III" has Michael Corleone tormented by his decision to have brother Fredo murdered. He even confesses the "sin" to a Roman Catholic priest. Today, that scripting might have been way different. After all, Fredo had put a hit on Michael, in his own bed with his pregnant wife next to him.  The Emerson College poll found that 40% of young people assess the murder of healthcare insurance executive Brian Thompson as "acceptable." Unreimbursed medical bills are the major cause of personal bankruptcies. Obviously, in current social norms there is no longer "absolute morality." That shift is shaping discussions in tarot readings. For instance, forget the commandment to not covet thy neighbor's wife. More to the point, is this issue: If that relationship will bring you what you need. Morality has almost become a transactional business case study. Here are variables A, B and C. Is the ROI you derive worth dealing with those factors?  Much ...
