"In my office, the term badass is thrown around a lot," says Dr. Shelley Provost, a partner and director of happiness of the venture incubator Lamp Post Group. "We use it to describe many things: a person's performance or accomplishments or ability to close a sale or turn a profit, or how well they ask someone out on a date--basically their overall potential for awesomeness."
These are the qualities that Provost says set true business badasses apart:
1. They say yes first--then figure out how to deliver.
Badasses are incredibly confident, with good reason. If a job is anywhere near their wheelhouse, they will find a way to get it done or die trying.
Why? They trust their own abilities, but they trust the people around them just as much.
If you're a true badass, you think there's a way to solve every problem. All you have to do is find it.
2. They think differently than everyone else.
Most business problems aren't new. Badasses tackle old problems with a variety of creative solutions.
Instead of designing a corporate newsletter that no one will read to "improve communication," a badass will create a holograph of the CEO that welcomes you to work and gives you the latest news. And a true badass would wear a flowing gown like the one in this video of a Kate Moss hologram.
Tell me that wouldn't improve communication.
3. They speak up.
When badasses have a different opinion, they share it.
But they aren't argumentative--because that would just make them asses.
