Picked up this Jack Welch book entitled "Winning." It's interesting to see the situations he points out in this book in business, "from the top down," not from my perspective, "from the bottom up." I found his description of looking for passion amoung other traits in a canidate very encouraging.
If the candidate has the four E's, then you look for that final P -- passion.By passion, I mean a heartfelt, deep, and authentic excitement about work. People with passion care -- really care in their bones -- about colleagues, employees, and friends winning. They love to learn and grow, and they get a huge kick when the people around them do the same.The funny thing about people with passion, thought, is that they usually aren't excited just about work. They tend to be passionate about everything. They're sports trivia nuts or they're fanatical supporters of their alma maters or they're political junkies.Whatever -- they just have juice for life in their veins.
