Thanks for submitting Rand. I want to put your quote here from Brad's article so people don't miss it: "Being TAGFEE yourself when there’s always pressure not to sucks bad enough. But working with a large team and getting managers and individual contributors to act this way (and figure out when/where/how/whether it’s being broken) is the toughest challenge I’ve ever had. Thankfully, it’s incredibly rewarding, too. Oh – and there’s a missing “H” in TAGFEE. For humility. In fact, empathy and humility in potential hires are the best predictors that they’re going to fit with our team and be TAGFEE."

You're grateful to Rand for bringing this piece to the attention of the inbound.org visitors. It's important to you to share some additional thoughts from another source that will be of value to people reading the article. I get that. I hope that you receive the feedback you are looking for. I love this blog, by the way, it absolutely nails down what I consider to be a fundamental building block of positive engagement with others - whether it's clients, colleagues, competitors or complainers. It's probably not essential for success, because here have been plenty successful people who lack this skill, but it's the approach I'd choose every time.
