Four Pivotal Insights on Hiring Leaders from the Ground Up
"I like this article, and I suspect that Shawn has missed some of the points. A strong handshake and good eye contact are indicative of a confident personality, there are other, more subtle markers that come across as a general impression of confidence, but they are more difficult to define.

"I liked it so much I was going to post it myself, but I searched first. It's obviously satire to me - the title and the blurb are dead giveaways - but it's also a good example of press release style, so it has merit for format as well as chuckle value."Subscribe
Success Is Only One Paperplane Instruction Manual Away
"What a great analogy! ...and the obvious answer to why I have never been able to make biscuits. Everybody in my southern family makes beautiful, light, fluffy, buttery, perfectly shaped biscuits. I make crumbly rocklike objects that look (and probably taste) like anthills. Perhaps...somewhere...there are instructions. I'll bet Paula Deen has something to say on the subject. (but I suspect the answer includes lard)"
