The energy I look for is the sort that embraces challenges, that is fun to be around, that inspires others to be their best. That sort of servant energy can change the world! I'll take leaders like that any day. As for those you describe...I thought immediately of politicians.

One, I also evaluate people pretty quickly, and I have to say that I've never been wrong in my initial assessment, though sometimes I have hoped for the best.<BR/><BR/>Second, you said you look for energy, and while I do want someone who seems competent and willing to do what's needed to get things done, I have found two types that turn me off that definitely are energetic. The first is the braggart, who goes out of their way to keep telling you how good they perceive themselves to be, and what I call the know-it-all, who has to comment on every single thing, even while you're in the process of explaining it. Sometimes, certain people need to also learn how to tone it down.Mitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02125633934727204568noreply@blogger.com
