Beyond Skills; what to also have

It was a difficult decision for the board of directors. They had done their possible best to scrutinize the last two sets of exceptional candidates fit for the job. Sincerely, these two persons left were excellent in what they had to deliver.

The last phase left was a test of their personalities and temperaments. Although they both were born with it, only one of them had taken the time to work on it. Beyond their skills, one was refined while the other was crude. Only one of them had taken the time to work on it. They were assessed on how they could handle relationships and effective communication with others. The task ahead was a people-oriented one, and as such, an inter-personal relationship was necessary.

Although different persons could have been available for the job, the requirements were clearly stated by the employer, who happened to be Solomon.
