The act that you don’t see the value in charisma says nothin about whether or not it should trump productivity. I think it’s highly reasonable that it would and maybe obvious that it should.
- Semkas 9y agoI see the value in charisma, but it seems uncontroversial to me that what most people consider "fair" is hiring people for their skill at a job, not their ability to make the interviewer like them.
- chrisbroadfoot 9y agoCharisma is a valuable skill as a software engineer. Have you ever needed to convince another team to implement a feature for you? Charisma helps greatly with that.
- yorwba 9y agoHave you ever convinced someone to do something which turned out to be a bad idea? Charisma is a social amplifier. If what it is amplifying isn't good enough, more charisma only hurts instead of helping. Essentially, you need just enough charisma to avoid being steamrolled by others when you're right and they are not, while not having enough to steamroll them when it's the other way around.
