Would you train your key skills to a permanent staff

[Chuck]

it's basically empathy, communication, and people skills.

I think I may have found a flaw in the plan.

I don't think even knowing what you are doing is a key requirement. Training is a skill in itself... Its one thing to help the bloke across the desk a bit with understanding something. Quite another to hold formal training.

Yes, training is a skill and a very useful one. Being a good trainer does not mean you fully understand the subject matter, but that you can present it in a way that others can learn.


My comments were referring more to the OP's first post.

Yeah, I got out of it as soon as I could in favour of working full-time in assembly language

I've always handed knowledge over. Never done me any harm at all. You are not indespensible. If you behave as though you are, expect short contracts.

I agree with this, and I consider an add value for the client and for us.
We can't handle everything in "our back", and could end in a disaster.

What does that mean?
