I have had the opportunity to review a business case recently regarding two possible hires for a company. After studying both individuals’ resumes and known performance, I have come to a conclusion that I confidently stand by. If I were the business owner, I would hire Jaime. I value consistency over potential because having someone who consistently performs at a good level is more important to me than relying on someone who can occasionally perform at their peak but underperforms regularly. Jaime\u2019s steady results day in and day out create a reliable and predictable work environment that I can trust, which is crucial for keeping operations running smoothly. I\u2019d much prefer an employee who shows up and performs well consistently, even if their best isn\u2019t the highest possible, such as Avery\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avery, on the other hand, does have the potential to excel but lacks the consistency I need. While Avery might do amazing work when pushed, their performance on a day-to-day basis is unreliable, and I just cant put my trust in someone that doesn\u2019t have the drive to always do good. For me, this inconsistency could lead to problems, as I need an employee I can count on every day, not just during their good moments. That said, there are certain jobs where Avery\u2019s high potential could be actually be valuable. In a fluid environment, like a coffee shop for example, with variable customers. Avery could thrive during busy times when peak performance is super important, and slack off when no one is there. On the other hand, Jaime would be better suited for jobs that demand constant effort, like a waitress at a restaurant. In such roles, I believe steady performance is key to making sure things run smoothly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
