From my understanding, recruitment of new employees/teammates are based on the mix of competency and likability. This article from HBS (http://bit.ly/fqIDt) was brought up on BC a while ago. People tend to want to be with a more likable co-worker (albeit less competent) than with a star performer who acts like a jerk. Do you see anything fishy about this typical choice from common sense? It would be great to hear from you as I would like to use some opinions for my blog entry about it. Thanks.

You need someone competent enough to perform the job adequately, but the ability to work with others (if the job requires working with other people) is also important. Having a 'jerk' in the group can make an uncomfortable work environment for all.

I have gathered strategies from you to avoid this scenario. The second type of person to avoid would be the lovable fool. Personally I don't want either of these types of people to slip through the cracks in the recruitment process, as they are both on a different extent destructive to a team, hence I'm asking this question. What are the suggested steps to avoid recruiting a lovable fool onto a team? By also taking a look at the achievement history on the resume despite showing a scene of being likeable in an interview? Thanks in advance for suggestions.

The concept of success isn't entirely as "black and white" as we'd like to believe. Often times, when we re-think the way we look at our achievements, we can find success in the grey areas. Success in the In-Betweens: Growing at 12,840 feet http://bit.ly/cDkp2k

I'm still fairly new to Twitter. What one tip would you give a brand new tweeter (is that even the right conjugation)?

Twitter has become a great tool for me to network and promote my blog. It also has allowed me to become a better PR person. Facebook is used for keeping up with friends and family. LinkedIn is strictly professional for resume/group discussions. Brazen is the place I come to offer advice and discuss great ideas.
Louis Gray:
I see LinkedIn as being for connecting to past coworkers, but Brazen is positioned to help you reach new people and opportunities.

Okay, I love this group but the concept of "career changers" tweaks me out a bit. There are so many things I LOVE to do that I don't want to tie myself down to only one. I wrote a blog post about it: http://marianlibrarian.com/2009/11/10/a-rant-on-only-choosing-one-career/
What do you guys thinks? Am curious if I'm the only one...

I have searched all my (I am turning 52 next week) to try and figure out what my purpose it and I know it is not sitting behind a desk and pushing papers. When we turn 18 people tell us to grow up and pick a career and that is what defines us. I don't agree. Why can't we do several things in our lifetime. I just joined a leadership group called TEAM and I just started my own network marketing health and wellness company with them leading me through some challenges I know I will face. I want to travel, help charities of my choice, spend time with my grandson and not be tied to an office and have someone else dictate my pay. It is great, so you can reaching for your dreams and don't let anyone squash them.
