This article borders on the comical and addresses the few simple reasons why engagement tactics and strategies fail all the time to drive substantial improvements.
Number ONE issue - most companies and executives are unwilling to do the hard work.
I draw the comparison to both playing a sport and hiring.
My experience as a high school girls basketball coach is that most players are unwilling to put in the hard work to aspire to something greater - whether it is the ability to move up a team level or just make more free throws in the next game. This is the basic message by Kobe Bryant. Nothing earth-shattering about this message - it's just a continuation of what you did in high school.
The second point - most companies don't make substantial improvements in hiring because they are unwilling to do the hard work of defining success for every job, shaking the bushes for the best candidate, and investing substantial resources and time to improve the interview process.
It's like the wrecking ball is just around the corner when we become complacent, lazy, and unwilling to do hard work.
