Do you need top professionals with ego or teachable non professionals as staff for your business?

One issue that really affects businesses is staffing for your business. The level and attitude of your staff would greatly determine how far your business would go.

Given a choice to make between hiring top professionals but with pride, arrogance and ego and people who are not professionals but are humble and willing to learn. Which one would you choose?

Remember that the top professionals would deliver and boost your business very quickly while the humble non professionals would take ample time to blend in.
For me, I would choose the top professionals and deploy strong man management methods.

Aa a business person, I also value my peace of mind to be able to rin my business. If you are the number one professional in your field and your ego is larger than life, I can't manage you and you would not work for me.

I think it all boils down to finding the right person, cause the truth of the matter is that even if you decide to train your own workers, they can still develop pride from there. But finding the right person who never do this. These days it's not easy finding these kind of people though.

It is not about developing pride from there. We are talking about personalities that a business owner can work with. Would you easily work with that staff you trained to a professional level and he becomes proud? Would you sack him or her?

I would prefer to work with someone who is not a professional but is willing to learn and has a humble attitude. Dealing with someone who is arrogant or boastful is a big no for me as it can be quite stressful to handle that kind of behavior.

I like working with someone that is humble and submissive. Such a person would be ready to learn and be flexible with the working.

The worst kind of people you can employ is those with pride and ballooned ego. These set of human beings can run down your business because of their selfish behavior. I prefer to employ humble non professional staff. At least they can treat customers with respect and humility.

My take is that if the situation at your business needs urgent results, you would have to manage the arrogant guy that can give you the results just like that. Let him deliver the results and if you can't put up with him thereafter, you let him go. If the situation has much time to spare, you get the teachable person and let him or her learn on the job.
