So some people think the Vikings should discount a candidate purely because of gender. I say you have no idea what you're talking about and thinking like that is how you miss out on a good candidate.I spent the last 15 years in middle management, had some good bosses, some ok bosses, and some god awful bosses.
One of the best leaders I ever worked under was a female. When I was introduced to her my first thoughts were, she seems a little bit young for the role....not sure she has enough real world experience...Well boy was I ever wrong!
Taking on the role of State Operations Manager in a large beverage manufacturing plant that was about to undergo a $70M expansion and equipment upgrades, with a mandate that production must continue as normal as possible.
She was 35, had a double degree, but had only managed a small facility in her previous role. But the knowledge, attitude, leadership, organisation and team building qualities she displayed were outstanding. In fact she was so outstanding that head office promoted her to a national role.
Moral of the story. Gender, race, age are not qualifiers or disqualifiers when recruiting. Some people have all the experience in the world and continually fail because they cannot articulate that experience into real world ideas. They are not leaders, they are not good people managers, they cannot learn from past mistakes and change course.
If you really want the Vikings to win a Superbowl then you should really want the Vikings to hire the best candidate, regardless of gender, age, race or experience.
That would be a more out of left field hire than The Giants hiring Joe Judge.
If you wanna poach the Eagles at least Brandon Brown was a head scout and had like 7 years NFL experience.
We must hire the best. We DESERVE the most experienced, most saught after candidate with a great resume that says high upside and low risk. I can't wrap my head around you discounting experience...🤦♂️🤷♂️
I’m not sure we deserve anything. The team has choked in the biggest moments through its whole history. I just hope we get a GM solid enough to put together a team that isn’t embarrassing in prime time
