Elon Musk talks Talent vs. Personality in Employees

 

 

Elon Musk says an employees personality and the effect they have on other people in the company is more important that talent or intelligence.

Elon Musk: "What really matters is, for someone's contribution to a company is how they are as an individual and how they affect others around them. You could say it's also analogous to a sports team, you know if someone, the best person on the team is not necessarily the one who scores the most goals, it could be the person who assists in the most goals. And if somebody is, if there's one person in a team who's just, just wants the ball all the time, just wants to kick it at the goal, that can actually be detrimental. So it is important to weigh personality and just, are they gonna be a good person? Will people like working with them? That kind of thing. It does make a difference."
