About Patrick Doyle

I develop high performing teams to achieve their personal and professional goals by being an AHOLE Early in my career, I applied for a sales manager position. At the time, I was a high performing sales rep for the same company, and I was encouraged by my manager to put my name in the hat for the role. I was screened by our internal recruiter as the first part of the interview process and afterwards I asked the recruiter if she thought I could be successful in this position. Her response was, “Honestly, No! You need to be an asshole to be successful in this role and I don’t see that in you.” Wow! What? So long story short, a few people took a chance on me, and I got the job. I went on to build one of the highest performing sales teams in the company. I haven't been able to explain how I have been able to do this over and over again until I was introduced to the concept of becoming an AHOLE by Erin Hatzikostas. It has become apparent that it is my authenticity that is my secrete weapon that has led to my success over all of these years. So I have this for you: How to Drive High Performance by being an AHOLEAuthentic- Be vulnerable, relate and connect to others, and “expose who you are when no one expects it”- Erin HatzikostasHumans – Treat people like humans, you need to genuinely care about them and their successOverhauling- Influence others to understand their full potential and have a growth mindset Lousy – Eliminate bad seeds by giving everyone an identity on the team and ensure they understand how they play a role in the success of others. Energy- You must create energy on your team, a unified desire to perform, one which everyone understands that they only win if we all win!Connect with me!I would love to connect with other AHOLE’s on this network to share best practices. Driving high performance in a virtual world has some unique challenges. I would love to learn where you are finding success with keeping your teams engaged, motivated, and performing at a high level in a work from home environment.What else you should know about me:It’s hard for me to stay satisfied professionally and personally. I am always looking for ways to improve my performance and challenge myself to be better.I am kind, which means honest, humble and respectful I get sick to my stomach if a customer has a poor experience and they lose my trust I look at all mistakes as learning opportunities. Win or Learn!
