What you see in the interview will not get significantly better when the individual is hired.

There is no 'grand conspiracy' preventing your from accomplishing what you need to do.

Successful people keep moving, even when they are discouraged and have made mistakes.

Your team has entrusted a portion of their life to you, and it's your job to help them grow, personally and professionally.

Leadership can't be claimed like luggage at the airport. Leadership can't be inherited, even though you may inherit a leadership position. And leadership can't be given as a gift - even if you've been blessed with an abundance of leadership skills to share with someone else. Leadership must be earned by mastering a defined set of skills and by working with others to achieve common goals.

Take the time and energy to manage your boss the same way you manage your team.
