A Reflection on Quick-Wits, Those Fearsome Operators

People with strong improvisation
face a problem and,
in an instant, with a brilliant idea,
lead a stuck conversation to victory.
Of course, victory in a conversation
does not always mean success at the work itself.
And that's perfectly possible.
Still, there is some kind of result.

And yet, despite that,
the reason I want to keep them at a distance whenever possible is this:

The experience (or ability) of conversational victory
eventually triggers a habitual quick-wit (capability),
which inevitably makes them obsessed with conversational victory,
and the operator's attitude that disregards the success or failure of the work itself
ultimately becomes an immeasurable risk for the organization.

As a result, the individual takes the short-term gains,
and the organization is left holding unexpected debt in full.
