Hi Jill,

When you hire someone to work with you, I think that person’s social skills and attitude is just as important, if not more important than their academic skills. After all you can teach people work skills but it is harder to teach people skills.

Some people are just natural communicators and can people to do whatever they want. As a manager you can make someone do it your way, but the best can get someone to change the way they think and get them to want to do it. These kind of social skills are invaluable.

Teachers are human and can be swayed in their perception of what a good mark is. A favoured student may be judged lighter than a trouble student whereas the trouble student puts more of him/herself in to get a higher mark. A person has favourites, assumes who wants to go on to higher education and who is just there because the government says he/she needs to be.

No one is to blame it’s simply a matter of realizing that the top student on a report card may not be the one striving for greater success.

There’s a vast difference between school smart and street smart, intelligence and smartness. To be able to value both so greatly as well as see the difference in them is a major characteristic of a true leader.

Grades are only as good as the system that is giving them. And most of the time at school or Uni you learn the stuff that is already well known. So to bring added value to the company you will work for you need to combine this knowledge with other talents and attributes. And Mr.Moore obviously understood this already very well!

I know Hill was writing during a time when men dominated the workforce and that’s why he writes from a very masculine perspective.

All this talk about “the man” seems so strange now in 2010. But that just goes to show how far women and society have come since then. I wonder what Hill would think now, about the advances in women’s rights and societal changes that have occurred since his time. I also wonder whether, if he were to write today, he would speak about wealth and riches in broader terms, to include for example, the success of family and parenting. Perhaps he did?
