Ideal Environments

Gardening in Houston is an amateur's dream come true.  It's marvelous to watch the incredible growth of our fall/winter pansies and spring/summer periwinkles.  Through trial and error, we've discovered the plants that seasonally thrive in our situation.  We've achieved an ideal environment. 

We aren't always as sensitive to timing and environment at work.  When we hire analytic associates and ask them to be customer-facing sales producers, it's as if we've planted pansies in Houston in the summer - they wither.  We've chosen a fabulous candidate at the wrong time for the wrong environment.

Everyone wins when we consciously consider appeal, timing and environment.
