Took me a long time to realize #2 is more important than #1. I'll take a mediocre teachable person with a good attitude over a "10x" jerk on my team any day.
- hef19898 5y agoThere was talk from, I think, Sensik (?) (anyway, the LinkedIn leadership influencer) about teams. It pointed at that, that being "easy" to work with is more important then being good at your job. He backed that up with something or other about the Navy SEALs (because which other outfit would you use, right?). Thing is, if we stay in the picture, I think the person the SEALs find "easy" to work with might be pretty different from the person Army kitchen staff find "easy", or any non-special-ops unit at that. My point is, the one person's jerk is the other person's "easy to work with" great fit.
