Obed Louissant IBM Watson (Theres no such thing as a perfect response for this question, says Obed Louissant (pictured).Obed Louissant) Obed Louissant, the VP of HR for IBM Watson , has one question that he always likes to ask job candidates. And its a doozy. Tell me whether it is better to submit a project thats perfect and late, or one thats good and on time. Tricky, right? But Louissant says hes not seeking a correct answer. Its interesting when you get peoples response to that, he tells Business Insider. I dont have a right answer for it. Im not looking for a right answer. I am more looking at the way in which the person explains and reasons why they answered the way they did. For Louissant, the inquiry poses an opportunity to learn more about a persons thought process. He says that at IBM Watson, the branch of the company that focuses on the question answering computer system, theres room for deadline-shirking visionaries and pragmatic taskmasters alike. We need different types, he says. We need a bit of a perfectionist on the team, whos going to say, Wait, were not going to turn this in because its not right yet, and we need the other person on the team who says, No, weve got to make the deadline. That creative tension gives you better outcomes.
