Dirk or Rondo? What to Look for When Hiring New Producers

14 Sep Dirk or Rondo? What to Look for When Hiring New Producers

When you're hiring New Producers, you want to pick a star.

Here are two Stars, one shines bright, the other one is tarnished.

Dirk has been a Dallas Maverick since 1998.  He's tall, but not very athletic.  Dirk's #1 attribute is his work ethic, #2 is his attitude. He's a winner and a team player.

Rondo won his championship ring as a Boston Celtic.  He was a great player, he could score, he lead the team with assists and very good at defense.

Rondo's debut in Dallas was on December 18, 2014 when I took this picture of him and Dirk.  On February 25th, him and his coach, Rick Carlisle got into a shouting match on the sideline.  By the time April rolled around, it was already determined, Rondo would be gone.

There are 5 attributes you must look for when hiring a New Producer.  One of them is this, are they coachable?

I'm working on a new book, Winning Strategies to Locate, Recruit, Hire, Train and Develop New Producers where I share how you can find these things out before you hire, not after.
