If I were a business owner and had to choose between Avery or Jaime, I would prefer to hire Jaime. Since this is an essential position, having a reliable employee who consistently produces the same quality results would be preferred over someone who occasionally does an excellent job but most of the time is \u201ca little below average\u201d. If Avery is not consistently performing to her ability, and there was no way to motivate her to do so, then I would choose to hire Jaime. The company could then support Jaime in her growth and development to hopefully increase her performance ceiling in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A job that would be better suited to Avery (i.e. high potential, low consistency) would be jobs that are more independent (less team based), or focused on completing single projects where one could be less busy at times and push hard at other times to complete tasks. This allows those down times as well as the (hopefully) high performing scenarios where the phenomenal work is done.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A job that would be better suited to Jaime (i.e. low potential, high consistency) would be a job that requires a variety tasks to be completed frequently and competently. These might be reception type duties, or accounting, or any jobs where you are required to show up and do a reasonable and consistent job daily.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I currently work with a Jaime. She is a very experienced veterinary technician. She is extremely thorough, and I know that the tasks she does will be done well. However, she is not expedient in her duties, and tasks take her longer to complete than for others. Other technicians can do more in a day, but call out sick frequently or make errors often. The reliability is something that is really nice to have in an essential employee.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
