As a business owner, I value this trait highly.
It’s very rare that “be highly competent” alone is enough to optimize for (ethical) success.
People, including one’s customers, often have drivers other than competence (e.g., significance or likability). Knowing how to cater to those drivers while also being competent is a fairly common and consistent recipe for success.
- dumbotron 4y agoI understand why you'd value it, but the problem is these people are better at delivering on self-serving, engineered OKRs than delivering value to the company. They'll look amazing on every measurable metric, but not on the metrics that really matter. If you run a consultancy, you're right, this is exactly who you want.
