However, intelligence isn't the only important quality. Being effective in a company also means working hard, being reliable, and being an excellent member of the team. Companies where people with diverse backgrounds and work styles can succeed have significant advantages in recruiting and retaining top talent over those that don't."

  > Maybe it's the managers that really need firing

  I told my boss that the guy she wanted to hire had brought a gun to the office at his last job. She hired him anyway. Brilliant.

  What's the problem with a gun in the office? Unless you are a bank or something it shouldn't be a problem. I'm sure if you ask him not to shoot you when he gets fired that it would put a smile on his face, lol.
