It's considerably more relevant to high-tech work than a comment from a military commander from 100 years ago.
Grit (determination, resilience hard work) is often indicated as the #1 predictor of success - not IQ, and I agree with this.
Unless what you're doing is very new, or super sophisticated in which case brilliance is really a key ingredient, give me 'smart, gets along, works hard and accomplishes things' any day over 'brilliant and lazy'.
