Why You Should Fill Your Company With 'Athletes' - 0 views

Jeff Andersen on 11 Nov 16At our company, we work to fill our roster with "athletes." I don't mean this necessarily in the physical sense, although it turns out that quite a few of our members are literal athletes - we have a national-class triathlete, I have a personal interest in competitive and recreational bodybuilding, and there are multiple marathoners, bikers, soccer, and basketball players, CrossFit enthusiasts, etc. on staff. We also have a companywide interest in health and fitness, which we call "Fishbowl FIT." But when I advise people to seek and hire athletes, what I am really referring to is the athlete traits (akin to leadership traits) that make any individual an exceptional hire.
