Quotes:
- “We set out to understand well, what is it then that truly differentiates the highest performing hunters, and we found there really these three non-teachable characteristics.” (1:24-1:32)
- “…Number one, the need for achievement, the person who wants to do well, simply for the sake of doing well. The second trait is competitiveness. Then the third piece we look at is optimism and that's of course the person who is certain that they will succeed.” (1:33-2:19)
- “He allowed me to develop my own internship or my own rotation on an internship in delivering psychological consultation to business management.” (3:32-3:39)
- “You have to adjust and you have to find out so much more about the person and what's going on underneath the surface for that individual.” (9:33-9:39)
