Tom at TrueTalk blogs about Harvard hiring Dr. Drew Gilpin Faust and I found a particular paragraph amusing and yet insightful:
Friend of mine used to say, if you need to hire something that climbs a tree, hire a squirrel. You could train a turkey to do it, but it's a heck of a lot simpler to go with the squirrel. Or, "hire for temperament; train for skills."
