Do they fit your team?

How do we know? What do they need?

• Skills: We can teach these. If we (and they) are prepared to do the work. It’s worth our time if they have the right…
• Attitude: We can’t teach this, no matter how hard we try. Those with the right attitude are worth training if they can tolerate…
• Pain: Don’t teach pain tolerance, that’s called torture. Some of us can simply endure hardships longer than others. For teams doing meaningful work for the long-haul, that’s a valuable trait.

You bring the mission and the training. They bring the attitude and thick-skin. That’s the deal.
