“There’s no such thing as a sure thing. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is what you think.”
– Jennifer Garner’s character in the 2014 movie “Draft Day”
Thursday night last week, two Hawkeyes got taken in the NBA draft. It was sweet. It got me thinking about how drafts are sort of like hiring.
Yesterday, I used my first of two picks on a guy that I know is not a sure thing, but I think he’s a damn fine choice. He knows who he is. He knows who he isn’t. He’s hungry and hell-bent on being the best.
Draft day strategy:
Pick the person who knows who they are.
Pick the person who knows who they ain’t.
Pick the person who’s hungry.
Pick the person who’s driven to be the best.
Hit those markers, and then get out of the way…
