I want to break a torch for the "Dumb and get things done" crowd. With out them nothing would get finished.

Try developing a complex and large product with a team consisting only of "smart and getting things done" people.

Not going to happen. never. complete disaster from the start.

You need the "dagtd" people to do the essential but boring parts. Attend customer meetings. Write requirements and documentation. etc.

NEED. THEM. BADLY. No way around it.

Luckily that is not as big a problem as it seems, because about 80% of "smart and getting things done" people are actually "dumb and getting things done".

They just don't know it. Which is perfectly fine. Just don't tell them.
