Success = Hire Sunny-Fire Gloomy

Tom Peters recently pulled from his archives his rules for ensuring business success. It is so simple yet it works and it works every time, regardless of the business.

From Tom Peters:

The Way for your team to Succeed:
HIRE SUNNY! FIRE GLOOMY!
Hire/Promote those with....Sunny Dispositions.
Fire those with perpetually...Gloomy Dispositions.
(Hint: The farther up the Organization you go, the more important this gets.)
(Rule: Leaders are not permitted to have "bad days"....especially on Bad Days!)
(Rule: One Sad Dog can infect a group of 100.)
(Rule: One Energetic, Optimistic, Sunny Soul can motivate an army to move a mountain.)

Make sure you include this in all your job descriptions and screening scripts.

I would be interested in your rules? Please comment
