1. I would hire Avery. An employee who has a specific set of skills and are able to rise to the occasion, when put in a particular situation means that I can focus him in the area where he excels and let him fly. Whereas Jaime is average and well-rounded; in a business, I would hire people for a particular job, who excel and make sure that their job required a particular set of skills that showcased Avery’s abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Avery would excel on a team, where he was not a manager or in control of people, but would be utilized to deliver a specific dynamic. Perhaps in this instance, he would be the lawyer on a team that presents to court. He isn’t very consistent in his research or ability to stay focused and searching cases. However, when you give him all the information needed, he will read, study and present a case that would crack the foundation of a house. Jaime wouldn’t excel, because she would be very consistent and organized in being able to provide all the material that was needed, because she is so focused and well-rounded, but not narrow in her capabilities. She would be dependable and reliable to get the work done, but not necessarily present a knock-out case in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Jaime would work very well in a bank. Dealing with customers and being reliable in her organization, customer-service skills and knows the rules and regulations. There isn’t necessarily room to excel and show high potential, but she would be a solid teller or loan officer, who could be counted on to provide good assessments. Where Avery might do really well in counting money, or being quick; or having a great charm with customers, his lack of focus and lackadaisical ability to pay attention and get the work done on time, would be a burden and put the bank branch at risk. In the banking world, consistency and dependability in the workplace matters. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
