Your role in the business would probably to choose an employee whether who suits best for the job. All has great qualifications probably a few graduated with honors and a few with some academic and leadership awards. But the biggest question is not whether who has the best qualification, but probably who among the crops can you rely? Or whether can they be trusted? Or can all these guys get the job done?

As a human resources practitioner and a department head of the business in the present, I had documented several type of people that you cannot get to know during interviews and qualification examinations. Who wouldn’t choose the best answer to a question and exams after all?

These are interesting, and if I were to choose I would choose it would probably take time and make a hundred and thousand thinks before settling down who to hire or who to retain.

The Intelligent and Wise

Though he might be good in the beginning, you must understand that as time goes by an intelligent and wise person goes on to betray you. He might work really well and smoothly but only to realize that your customers had transferred in a business he put up similar as yours. More and more your customers are getting less than usual. And gotcha! Just one absent or leave he is caught! Because if he is on leave, you have no other choice but to man the store personally perhaps. And phone calls from customers you haven’t heard of starts making the phone busy telling you they are an existing one. Existing, indeed of the business the intelligent and wise guy’s put up similar as yours! Bad, isn’t it?

The Intelligent and Slow

Intelligent people doesn’t necessarily mean that they can get the job done.  And individuals who graduated with honors doesn’t guarantee that they have high IQ or could understand instructions well.  They may be intelligent and could solve issues but only to find out how much time has consumed causing you to loose so much. Depending upon your needs, sometimes having this type of individual works.

The Slow and Reliable

This type of person doesn’t understand instructions well.  And starts to do thing on his own without proper evaluation whether what good it possibly brings to the company.  But on a positive note, what is nice about these people is they can be trusted and you can rely upon him.  Place an uncounted money on your table and you still could trust to him that after a few so years that amount of money would still be intact.  You can trust these individuals in terms of loyalty, money, and honesty.

The Fast, Intelligent But Lax

Very intelligent individual who could get things done whenever being asked to.  He gives good results to his job order by doing it on time.  But on a dark note, since the volume of job might be not too heavy for him he spends most of his time going to the toilet, and drinking coffee perhaps.  Or during office hours, he has so much idle time due to his ability so quick and intelligent, BUT spends most of his idle time surfing senseless stuff on the internet.

The Intelligent,  Lax and Storyteller

He tells story so much about a thousand words but only to realize all stuffs he said can just be summarize in 20 or so words.  He either produces results or do not produce any results at all.  But keeps on answering back for reasons on why he did not make it.  And if the result is good, boast so much that only to realize that the result was accidental!

By now, I am sure that you had probably smiled after reading this and try to pin point whether who amongst your employee belongs to either one of the category above. There are actually a whole of different people at workplace and would love to hear that from you. Please share it with us through the comments button.
