That depends on your job title and where it falls on the explore-exploit spectrum. If your job is to keep the gold mine running all your underlings are working on the mine. If they go do something else its a waste of your time and resources. If your job is to explore the jungle for new mines, then the story is very different. Its more about finding as many curious cheap chimps as you can and sending them out in every direction. In such cases imaginative managers use all the chimps they can find.
