I am currently working with a manager who told his team, “If this campaign isn’t perfect when we launch, some of you will be looking for a new job.” Yikes. That’s almost as inspiring as telling your team, “Terminations will continue until morale improves.” Although the manager didn’t share his threat with us, several of his employees did.

Following her announcements, Biles sent out this tweet: “the outpouring love & support I’ve received has made me realize I’m more than my accomplishments and gymnastics which I never truly believed before.

I’ve counseled executives for years to look for energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of humor in job candidates. These qualities can’t be taught or coached, they’re intrinsic.
