The best talent is that which has both fundamental knowledge and skills in tools. That much is obvious. The really interesting question is regarding the second best. Back in the day, I’d have ranked knowledge without skills above skills without knowledge. But no longer. Nowadays, many Uber drivers know little to nothing about the topography of the city but still manage to complete rides using Google Maps navigation; many private sector bank employees don’t know how to calculate interest or TDS but have still managed to build extremely valuable companies based on core banking software and other skills. After coming across such people everyday, I’ll now rank skills without knowledge ahead of knowledge without skills.
