Asking your team how they're feeling is pointless

We don’t tell people how we feel. We don’t tell our kids we had a crap day, we hide from our spouses when we don’t get our bonus and we definitely don’t tell our bosses when we’re discontent. Not because we’re fibbers, but because we’re protecting ourselves or our loved ones from something potentially worse. So, when you ask your employee in passing or even in an intimate sit-down, don’t expect them to tell you the truth. However, if you’re vigilant, they will likely show you the truth.

Oh my goodness, I am in sales.

If you'd asked 23 year old unmolded piece of clay me what I wanted to do I would have had no idea. But, I definitely knew I didn't want to do sales. Sales is just so sales-y. It requires a suit, and a 'pitch' and absolutely worst of all, rejection. I mean, my dad is in sales, and I am not going to do what my dad does. Duh. Aww, 23-year-old Adam.
