Can’t

A Sales Guy

A Sales Guy

What’s a corporate hack? A corporate hack is that corporate guy or gal that plays the political game like a master. Corporate hacks are the people in the organization who always have a personal agenda, and are shrewd executioners of it. They rarely take risks. They don’t rock the boat. As a matter of fact, they are squeaky clean, except after they’ve brilliantly minimized someone else or some other group in the eyes of the CEO or executive.

A Sales Guy

I have some bad news for you, you are probably not as good as you think you are. I know, it’s not something you want to hear, but you can’t argue research. According to research by David Dunning too many of us suffer from incompetence, but also, and more disappointingly, we don’t have the capacity to know we’re incompetent.
