Team Member you would like to see in your team

Well I am just making it a debate because I started this thread. If I will not think from every aspect then how can they prove their points and oppsitions here are not speaking so I am speaking as oppsotion. People here make debate more like a "leave your comment without discussion" kind of thread. Right? I don't think that is called debate?

Well,first i told that i would opt for a technically sound person who has also got strong will to do anything for the project(but this option is not there)..

Your first option says that the person is technically sound.Being technically sound is good, is not a sin.In fact he/she has got an got an edge over others.Knowledge Shared is Knowledge Doubled.This person could be a self starter.He/she may not expect his leader to motivate them..They may complete their work on their own.We can't say that they may not contribute anything to the project.When they are sound and when they know something I am for sure they would be contributing more towards the project.Even they can help other members in the team.But they should not try to dominate others and also other members in the team should not rely only on this person.Hence,I would say that this person possess a perfect blend of technical and soft skills.

Supposing your option1 is"Technically sound person who is not wiilling to contribute anything" then there is no point in having a person who is technically sound,but doesnt have that attitude.This person would remain aloof,may not be interested in teamwork at all.They may not like interacting with others,helping them and so on.(So if first option is in this way,then certainly its ruled out).

Your second option says that person is technically average but has got the strong will to do anything..Means he/she has got a "CAN DO","NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" attitude..So,I would obviously opt for a person who has got the guts to take up any challenge and finish it off successfully.Its only a matter of determination,dedication,perseverance and self confidence...So this person would certainly possess the following skills

Willingness to learn(which is very very important)
Willingness to work hard
articulation,determination ,dedication
flexible,adaptable
optimistic thoughts
and so on..

Nothing is Impossible for a person with this type of attitude,.Where there is a will there is a way.Since he/she is ready to do anything for the project,they would prepare themselves mentally before taking it up.They would have their own plans and would work accordingly..And when something goes wrong,they try to retain their cool and would just work on how they could solve those problems.

One fine day,this technically average person would sure become very sound and would still contribute..After all,Learning is an ever ending process.:smile:

PS:Supposing if your option1 says that person is technically sound(but without strong will),then my vote is for option 2(because my priority is only for those who has got the will and a good open mind to learn everyday).Only the fittest can survive..

Now coming on to your question,

If that fellow who has strong will to do anything fails at any point to solve any technical problem then what will happen to your project? Can your project get complete at any point of time?

Failure is the stepping stone for success.One thing is for sure here.As the person is willing to do anything for successful completion of their project,they would obviously know the problems that they might encounter.They would be well prepared to take on all those and I am for sure they can sort out all issues quickly.Even if there is a severe(different) problem,they wont lose their cool(and mess up the whole thing)because their concentration is only on their work.

They may take help from their team lead,or would just think on their own ways to solve it,might discuss their problem with their colleagues,somehow or other they will get it solved because they are involved and they enjoy their work.This is what we call as TRUE CONTRIBUTION.

Certainly they can complete their work before the stipulated time period(or deadline).There's no doubt about it..;-)

@vinod No debate without explanation, so I am counting your voting option as 4 (default option) OK

@ash Thanks for voting being a high level CE team member. Really this hsows your down-to-earth kind of character.

@Miny You simply stole my words. Yes option one includes a technical bond person who is not that much involved in project but interested in learning new new technologies just for his benefits.If I would have mentioned as "A technical bond with strong will for doing anything for project" then there was no point in making this polling right? Everyone would go for that option only. Right?

All those who have opted for option 2 , Please try to answer my following question also.

One more thing as a all-time-observer, I made some kind of observations(can be called a survey kind of thing) and found that those who are technically ok (more near to technical bonds) always opt for people with strong will for project and people who are not that much good in technical skills always look for technical bonds people.

Shalini :Well my take for above scenario is self-confidence in them. A person who has self-confidence in himself will opt for people similar to option2 type , may be because he/she can fulfill technical requirements and a person who lacks that will opt for opton 1 type people because they think only those people can make projects successful.

What will be your take/thoughts about all this?

I thought when you mean technical bond, it goes without saying that he/she is ready to do anything for the project they are working in.Then option 1 could have been "A technical bond who is not that willing to contribute".

Now that its very clear,My vote is for option 2..

I dont get you mam

Nothing dear , I am not blaming you for anything. I just meant that you spoke the way I would have spoken

Well, Shall I know The persons who is technically bond will choose which option?

I bet he/she would choose option number 3.

It depends on the character of that technical person , If he is having technical skills as well as the Managing skills and in the case of doing a big project , what option he will choose?
I am not technically sound guy now, But having confident to be such a guy,

yes I guess you are right raj, that option better suits him/her

By the way you know we have one technical bond people then , vinod . He voted for option 3. Ha ha ha

I liked that spirit of that guy. Now you see what I am going to do with him :sshhh:

Durga dear, things are not about TL or TM. I am talking about YOU madam, What you will do if you have a strong will power person in your team(don't consider as TL or TM-becuase I guess hierarchy concept do not loo good in option 2 ) and he/she could not find solutions for any technical related issue. Will you be able to solve it? or will you both work together and will find out the solution? or will you ask that fellow to get out of the team-you are of no use, you take lot of time to find out solutions. I will better go with a technical bond person without caring for his attitude towads work?

Please clarify?

Yo ! That's the spirit durga. Keep it up

@gohm Sir, explanation Please otherwise your vote will be counted in default option (option no 4)

well i never got a team member i desired so i just make sure all the team member gets the desired job they want and of-course the slogging part is equally divided.of-course goin by the poll i wud like to have a technically average person with a strong will....happy finding !!!

From the poll, shall I take option 2 as preferable one?

What is making you to change your option ? If others are the reason Please ignore it, try to be just yourself and if it is you only changing your mind set about a technical bond person. Please do tell us the reason.
