Sure. In reality I think both are true, and this makes the problem of building a great company even more challenging.
No organization can make someone who isn't good at something be good at it, but a dysfunctional organization can turn a genius into a B or C player. So as the builder of an organization, you are powerless to improve your people but very capable of demotivating and destroying them.
Tough breaks.
- JoeAltmaier 12y agoThat's not quite right. You can certainly inspire folks to do their best. Different from 'improving' them I suppose; but with the same result?
- api 12y agoNo, it's harder than that. If you don't inspire people, you get B (or worse) work out of everyone. Being inspiring is the only way to get A work out of anyone, ever. Nobody works at their full potential for a "bullshit job."
