Statement should be like People reward social skills over hard work.
- adamwong246 3y agoI think you're almost hitting the nail on the head. When we look to add teammates who will add value to our teams, it is often the appearance of value which is more important than the actual value. I suspect this is why we highly value "talent", given that it is easier to telegraph.
- cardy31 3y agoWhen hiring for technical teams, especially in more junior roles, I value someone with good social skills over someone with high technical skills. Technical skills are much easier to teach than social skills.
- ResearchCode 3y agoThat's the opposite of my experience. Talkers are a dime a dozen. Tech talents are a gem and you're very lucky to get them. The few of them will do most of your work.
- ResearchCode 3y agoI rarely see actual "social skills" rewarded.
