Suitable

Don't be taken aback by my blog yesterday if you have an interest in laboratory study but do not do well with cookery. The latter merely signify a suitable personality to do the hand-on bench work, but not actual planning of the experiment - which needs a different domain of intelligence.

The sobering truth is many people fail to realize the difference in requirement and believe that we should promote the one who has the best hand-on performance to the position of planning, or the clinician who could care their patient best to become an administrator.

"In any organization, every worker would be promoted to a position that he could not handle."

Things are actually worse. Once promoted to that higher position, these used-to-be excellent workers often lose the capability that they are proud of.

PS. Many VIPs also have the romantic idea that the administrating consultant is also the best clinician - including stuffs like setting up a drip. Well, I fully agree extra-terrestrials should be cared by their own species.
