Positive or negative - it’s your choice.

You’re an employer with a headcount problem. You have two employees who do virtually the same job and one has to go. 

Fred is really good at his job but spends a lot of time demotivating everyone around him: he complains, moans, criticises and nothing’s ever right. In fact he's quite disruptive. 

Jack is reasonable at his job but great at encouraging his colleagues: he smiles, he’s helpful, nothing seems to be too much trouble, he even makes occasional suggestions for improvements. 

You know the next question and the answer, so I won’t bother asking it, I’ll ask this one instead. Are you more of a Fred or a Jack? #proteuscareermanagement #attitude
