[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 825161, member: 844"] In my very first job with management responsibilty, I was given the task of downsizing my small department of maybe 30 people. I had 3 people capable of doing a specific task that was critical to our role. One voluntereed to take early retirement so I was forced to keep 1 of the 2 remaining. I chose the one that (I thought) had the higher upside over the one who was consistent, steady, reliable, etc. but who did not have much upside. That was 30 years ago and I still regret that decision. Ever since, I disregard "potential" and look instead at what you actually do day in and day out. That is the greatest predictor of success.
