What drives Top Performers?
Posted by Vera S. Doerr on 9/14, 7:05am

German newspaper 'Handelsblatt' found it newsworthy to present the major characteristics of top performers and what drives them - just the headlines translated:

 

"Avarice - enough can never be sufficient!"

"Rage - I'll show you!"

"Envy - I want that too!"

"Egocentricity - So what, I'm God!"

"Unscrupulousness - Success at all cost!"

"Lechery - The Winner takes them all!"

"Arrogance - Your poverty makes me sick!"

 

I was tempted to put it under 'Add Joke' - the accompanying pictures alone are enough of a joke :D, but did not want to insult the clowns among us ;) I'd laugh my head off but for the sad truth, that this is a fairly common stereotype how successful people are viewed in Germany :(
