Not at all how we think in any of my companies ..... This is a great way to get a company full of dead wood. If your companies can thrive on simply repeating the same idea over and over and over then these are exactly the type of people you want to hire. The ability to navigate office politics is antithetical to creating value in any company or business process. If you ever actually worked in a large organization on mission critical projects you would quickly come to realize that most of the people on most projects could as well not be there and about 10% of the project team are the people that actually get something done and more often than not these people dont play politics well. I have hired many people that did not come out of a top school or at the very top of their class and I have worked with many top management at fortune 100 companies that did not satisfy these criteria. Smart hardworking creative people are difficult to find and using the criteria mentioned will only get mediocre hires IMHO.
With emphasis on formal systems (logic, foundational Mathematics) Add all the undergrad Computer science course, some psycology, History, law, music business finance. I.e. take a wade variety and go 5 years and study like a mad person. Do every internship you can, study some more, read read read. Discuss. Cheers
===== Figure the right & bright teacher maybe important; wish i had more of Professor/trader Jim Rogers college course in book form. Study & occasional ''labor'' in extra curricular activities like Blair Hull did/does; labor fish politics/trading & being the slowest market maker on the floor ===== Have you seen that commercial where Lassie the sheep dog does a skip or dance and wins the lion/bear deal. ???
