Like acquiescence
Whenever you hire people, you try to hire good people. For most of us, the debate is about what good people means. Some of us like acquiescence. Doh!

Some of us (the acquiescence valuers) like them to do what they tell them to do.
Some of us (the smart ones) like them to do their thing. We don’t tell them how, we don’t stand in their path. We give them a What and a Why and get out of the way.
