When all considerations are similar, not equal but similar, emotions win out as the most important criteria for making a decision. This may be a surprise as many people insist that they make decisions based on facts. Yet the reality is that this factor leading the way is subconscious for most people.

At least 9 times out of 10, if everyone on the team loves a VP of Sales, it’s the wrong hire. And this especially matters because I often see CEOs picking between 2 final VP of Sales candidates.
