The missing piece is communication and conflict resolution skills. It's crucial for team effectiveness, but it's hard to measure in the interview process. You can be high strung, you can be a chill bro, you can be generally apathetic, but you have to be able to communicate and resolve conflicts effectively.
Thankfully, it can be taught.
- valuearb 10y agoDon't know why this was downvoted. First it's true. Secondly, my daughter was diagnosed as autistic at age three. We spent much of our savings for ABA therapy and were able to get her mainstreamed at age 8, but even two years later I have trouble communicating with her at times. Might be because she's a ten year old, but her quirks don't help. When she reaches the job market she needs to be able to work in teams. Fortunately she did make honor role and her classmates apparently love her, so whatever we are doing is working. But I expect we will need to do more, and as munch bunny said, these things can be taught. My daughter is proof of that.
