Meet Tom!
Tom is a 10yr accountant with a CPA and Masters in Accountancy. He is qualified and a DNA fit, but quits within a year. Why?
Using Kolbe?, we find Tom’s strengths align with everything but RISK (9). Tom loves risk and is always trying to convince clients to create offshore accounts to save money. YIKES! Most decline, frustrating Tom. This makes his job a grind, draining his energy. Tom blames the company and leaves.
