Lovable Fools

Our professor of 'Recruitment and Selection' came up with a marvel yesterday .He said that in an organisation it is better to have lovable fools rather than competent jerks.An organisation is composed of people and a competent jerk can offend a lot of workers by his attitude and thus vitiate the atmosphere. On the other hand a lovable fool is more compatible and understands the people issues. All of us want competent people around us, but we should work out the cost benefit ratio of having them. Also we must know that it is easier to teach  a skill and turn  a lovable fool into  an intelligent contributor, while changing an attitude is almost next to impossible.
