Complete process thinking; specific, tangible resources; and put in a relevant context. It's always nice to find posts that aren't regurgitations of other posts. Glad to read on your blog that you've landed 3 new gigs. Sorry that my intervention on behalf of one of your attempts didn't yield anything this time... and to all readers, hope to see many of you at the Kennedy Recruiting Conference in NYC next month!

I’m not sure that PETA would appreciate the 90% “not strong enough swimmers” rate but in certain respects, you’re getting closer to a target. If I’m not mistaken, Jack Welch spoke of the top 20% – a number I’m more comfortable with.

Maybe because it's Friday afternoon, but my mind is picturing this:A bunch of mangy rats peering over the edge of an old run down sailing ship (read: Pirates of the Caribbean) … and all of a sudden a shiny new Formula racing boat painted in our companies colors & adorned with our logo pulls up along side. Of course this gets the attention of the rats which then start pushing & shoving their way towards us. Since we planned ahead, we made sure our vessel had room for the top 10% of those rats & we hailed them via our megaphone: “Hey rats! We got room for you over here … the swimmers who reach us first and convince us why they should come aboard, WIN!” Of course we speed away (on route to the next sinking ship) with the strongest swimmers, best communicators, & those that were willing to take the plunge. Now that’s ROI on planning & branding … Ahoy!TGIF, Jeremy Langhans Steve,
