Hire Underdogs

Our entire team are underdogs. We all hail from overlooked places. We were overlooked for roles and overlooked for promotions. We were told that we were lesser, that we must sacrifice ourselves and serve. We were underestimated. When your entire team are underdogs, something magical, almost unexplainable happens. You outperform. So, the lesson is you can hire the safe, the top, the one everyone else would hire. Or you can hire the underdog; the one who is going to prove everyone wrong and then some.
