If given a choice to hire people in your team – who would you choose? The first is a relatively cheap hire who can follow instructions well and does what is required of him. This person loves to be told what to do and acts on it to the letter. A hireling that could easily be replaced when things don’t work out. The main advantage here is that you won’t really have to pay much in terms of salary.
Or…
A weird person who innovates, who possesses human qualities, who goes beyond what is expected because it is not the norm. A weird short of heretic who does not follow the rules but brings dramatic results to the team. A person who does not need to be told what to do but knows what he is supposed to be doing and takes responsibility for his action. A valuable person who you know would leave a mark once he decides to move on to the next job even if you double his salary because he really is valuable that money can’t pay what he brings to the table.
So it’s your choice – cheap hire or expensive weird?
Weirdos please! But he has to be able to make good coffee too…or at least comes in with large fries…and coke! Lolz!
Thank you for describing how a Marketing Sociologist works: “A weird person who innovates, who possesses human qualities, who goes beyond what is expected because it is not the norm.

You forgot to add the other bit that my personality profiled revealed, “Even the Internet moves too slowly for you.”
