Hi, CRMers,
I'm a new kid on the block, well, at least on this network. I've read with
great interest about most that was written about "Rogues". My two cents
worth is this. Do rogues think they are rouges?
I was told once, "There's one a..hole (read, rogues) in a thousand; one
rogue in a hundred; one in two, and I'll tell you I'm not the one." Just
like stress we all need it for peak performance. On a positive note maybe
we should treat them as check and balance; a devils advocate. To keep us on
our toes, to forever push for excellence.
I better stop here less it becomes a half-cent worth.
Cheers colleagues.
