I want to work on important tasks, with enough non-BS work that the jerks stifle their complaints and bend to the task, and the slow but kind people make sure to measure twice and cut once and ask for help and document. Operational tasked jobs are a lot more fun and have much better espirit de corps than bullshit jobs where people can afford to tear each other down and make dumb errors.
And the task of management is to build effective orgs out of whomever you have, not some pretend ideal. Even start ups hiring the first person for each position are bounded by the universe of people. My best work experiences have been ones where a group of people united by a common vision worked well together, using each person for their strengths, built things greater than any of the parts.
You don’t get there by pitting people against one another.
