#FailingUp
“The frustrating thing is that we have known for four or five decades what attributes we should be selecting for… and yet we don't do it,” says Chamorro-Premuzic, who also serves as the chief talent scientist at the workforce solutions company ManpowerGroup. “We started focusing so much on style, extraversion, assertiveness, lean in, be confident, brand yourself, make eye contact, body language, that we forgot to focus on substance.”
@SnowyCA Yeah - maybe I should start searching for books on the subject!
I'd love to see a #FailingUp where people would tell stories of people failing yet still getting promoted.
I'd love to compile a book of all these stories too.
For example, I watched a project that was valued at over a million tank completely and the project head got a promotion and given even more money.
@Dianora we called it #failingup in the #corporate world
Without Russia propping up his finances, and his stupid TV show propping up his place in the public eye, Trump would have been finished a long time ago.

Oh wow how the hell do these guys do it. #FailingUp
Just had a realization: failing like a Kabbalist means you fail up. Every adversity is an opportunity to grow, overcome, and learn. #FailingUp #Kabbalah
"By June 1990, #Trump was heavily in #debt. He owed banks and bondholders $3.4 billion, “nearly all of it high-interest debt.” His father’s money helped bail him out. Then came #TheApprentice... everyone involved knew they were creating #fiction — even the conference rooms at #TrumpTower were so dilapidated that they had to be faked — but to millions of #Americans, the fiction became more real than the truth."

University of Florida will continue to pay former Senator a million dollars a year as president emeritus, but at least he won't be able to spend $1.3 million on catering.

No wonder Elon Musk and #Trump get along so well. They are both incompetent nincompoops who's only real talent is convincing banks to give them money. OUR money.
"banks haven’t been able to sell the debt without taking huge losses, predominantly because of the company’s poor financial performance."

@pluralistic reading through Ed Zitron’s post is truly sickening. How this #prabhakarraghavan kills off two search engines is an excellent example of poor vetting of candidates during the recruitment process. #failingup indeed
Dude! Grow some intellectual capacity. You can't blame something that happened 3 years ago. Fuckwit.
@highergeometer Depends on whether they are a white male or not #FailingUp
