Teams over individuals. Stop evaluating individuals in a vacuum, and evaluate them in team dynamics.
Sometimes the incompetent nice person multiplies the productivity of a team through morale, creativity and by offloading simpler tasks from more competent people.
The same goes for the competent jerk, who can be a 10x in output but also 1/100 overall by creating a completely toxic environment.
- munificent 4y agoDamn near everything about human behavior makes more sense if you look at humans as almost eusocial like ants, where the meaningful unit of evolutionary fitness is an entire tribe. (My pet theory is that the entire reason humans have such insane metastasized intelligence relative to other species is that we got ourselves into an evolutionary arms race with ourselves where we needed greater and greater intelligence in order to distinguish in-group people in our tribe from bad actors in other tribes trying to exploit us. Ants are lucky because each colony just smells different.)
