If the Shoe Fits: Are You Dimpatient?
by Miki SaxonA Friday series exploring Startups and the people who make them go. Read all If the Shoe Fits posts here
I saw a new Snickers’ commercial and thought how relevant it was to the startup world — founders, employees and candidates.
In case you haven’t seen it, here it is.
Dimpatient.
Great word. No question what it means and so apropos to the situation.
Most bosses have interviewed a fair number of dimpatient candidates in the course of their careers.
Of course, candidates have been interviewed by a goodly number of dimpatient founders, managers and team members.
And that’s not counting how many founders have presented to dimpatient investors and been forced to interact with dimpatient advisors.
Or, worse yet, because they have no one to blame but the selves, hired dimpatient contractors.
Dimpatience is already rampant throughout the tech world and spreading rapidly to other fields.
Too bad Snickers®adv can’t actually curtail the epidemic.
