He compares Michael Vick to the possible superstar on your team who made a few mistakes, gotten her life back on track, and now has the potential to lead your team to new heights.

Would you hire Michael Vick?

I would hire Michael Vick! And I’d encourage you to hire Michael Vick too!

Because I believe in second chances.

I believe if you make a mistake and you’re truly sorry for it, if you surround yourself with good people who will help save you from yourself, that you deserve another opportunity to make good.

We’ve all failed, some to a lesser extent than Michael Vick, some to a greater extent.

I have made plenty of mistakes in my day.

Offenses I could have been fired for, probably SHOULD have been fired for.

And yet I got another chance.

I got a LOT more chances.

I’m still standing, still managing, still leading, still telling my stories.

In fact, I’d hire a Michael Vick on my team over someone who has never made a mistake.

I’d take my chances that this wouldn’t happen again, because if it did, the consequences for failure are WAY too high.

Someone who has made a mistake this big knows she can’t screw up, knows this is their last chance.

What about you?

Would you hire Michael Vick?

A better question:

Can you see yourself in Michael Vick, as someone who’s made a mistake and deserves a second chance?
