A fierce debate has ensued regarding the factors that the businesses should consider while hiring personnel: some advocate opting for those who are resourceful and can operate autonomously, whereas others vouch for ones with ability to engage as team members. I feel both the perceptions hold substance; selection depends on the typical organizational needs.
Appointing employees with the ability to execute tasks, using their imaginative traits, independent of any external guidance, can help an organization to run independent profit centers. Such individuals are internally motivated, capable of making decisions, and completing the work without needing continuous supervision.They are generally well-adapted to functioning in remote locations, project based undertakings, and carrying out research in disparate areas, where autonomy plays a paramount role and obstacles: consistent control and interference from other departments, are missing. To corroborate, Elon Musk admits Tesla benefitting from this model by engaging creative people in independently-managed endeavors aimed at discovering new technologies: their premier product, the electric car.
Having said that, barring a few venues where inventions are targeted, most other departments of modern undertakings must be populated by the staff that can synchronise their jobs with their counterparts in other divisions, by virtue of their operations and productivity hinging on the efficiency churned out by others sections. To exemplify, the business turnover of the sales department heavily relies on efficient execution of tasks by manufacturing and planning, supply chain management and after sales service. In these cases communication, collaboration, and sharing of responsibility take the center stage, mandating employing efficient team players.
In hindsight, selecting personnel with ingenuity and capability to operate independently, or opting for ones to function in a group, depends on distinctive requirements: their aim is to create the best fit that can help attain organizational objectives.
