Ideally,
when you hire or partner
with someone,
you choose the person
with both
experience and talent.
Unfortunately,
that isn’t always possible.
You have a more talented person
and a more experienced person.
Which person do you choose?
On
Face-off,
a reality show
pitting special effects
make-up artist
against each other,
the contestants
have a range of experience
and talent.
When everything is going right,
talent can edge out
experience.
When things go wrong
(and they often go wrong),
experience always wins.
Experienced contestants
know how to recover from disaster.
Talent can’t save them.
In times of disaster,
you want an experienced person.
If you hire the talented person,
ensure she has access
to someone with experience.
