There is nothing that frustrates me more than people who say they are going to do something, but never follow through. That goes for business, personal life, children. My personal bias is that you can be the smartest person in the world, but if you can’t get anything done, what’s the point.
I just had a client say that they’ll provide a bunch of info, I followed up, they never followed through. When I hire, that is the key component of my hiring principle–does this person follow through on what they say they’ll do. And if they can’t come through, do they communicate that effectively. Brilliance with no common sense doesn’t work for me.
