It's More Important to Be Kind Than Clever

The problem with single words is it is very easy to lost on the definitions. Kindness, cleverness... what does that mean?

Here's how I would have worded it. Given a company of a 100 people working on the same product, which do you think would have a higher chance of being successful:

1) Everyone has a varying degree of intelligence but all of them shared the same (positive) moral compass

2) Everyone shares the same (high) intelligence but a varying moral compass

You are no longer talking about relative importance; you've turned it into a much simpler (and very different) question: does a homogeneous (and good) moral compass make a team's success more likely, all other things being equal?
