“Ability is what you are capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”
—Lou Holtz, football coach
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. And while you can hire a person with amazing talent and ability, you can’t be sure she will use it to further your cause. Unless you recognize her regularly
The big three: ability, motivation and attitude. An employee has to have them all to reach company goals. Don’t drop the ball: recognize.
