I quite disagree. This to me is a rather capable individual I'd hire simply because they are a good adaptive problem solver. Problem: Stupid interviews. Solution: game the system to get what that person wants, a job.
- JamesBarney 9y agoEvery large dysfunctional project I've been on has been run by "good adaptive problem solvers" who prioritized metrics over the success of the project. Honestly all the best managers I knew who ran the most successful projects were all bad "adaptive problem solvers". Who never really played the classic game so instead focus on project success over politics.
- jbattle 9y agoIn the back of my head I wonder though - Once you hire them, will their goal be to optimize the same metrics you also care about?
- rafiki6 9y agoAs with all things in life, what you reward is generally what will be optimized for. So make sure your corporate culture doesn't reward dumb metrics.
