The individual attributes of warmth and competence are often perceived to be negatively correlated. That doesn't mean they actually are, but that's how people perceive the world. So, cruel people, those who gave negative book reviews, for instance, were seen as less likeable but as more intelligent.
Jeffrey Pfeffer

We need somebody with a proven track record of competence, leadership and what you see is what you get.
Anna Soubry

If we have a strength, it is in recognizing when we are operating well within our circle of competence and when we are approaching the perimeter.
Warren Buffett
Image
Everybody's got a different circle of competence. The important thing is not how big the circle is. The important thing is staying inside the circle.
Warren Buffett

If we conducted ourselves as sensibly in good times as we do in hard times, we could all acquire a competence.
William Feather
Image
Emotional intelligence, more than any other factor, more than I.Q. or expertise, accounts for 85% to 90% of success at work... I.Q. is a threshold competence. You need it, but it doesn't make you a star. Emotional intelligence can.
Warren G. Bennis
Image
Competence is a narrow ideal. Competence makes the trains run on time but doesn't know where they're going.
George H. W. Bush
Image
Our campaign is the opposite of 'competence.'
William J. Clinton
Image
For many activities, people cannot rely solely on themselves in evaluating their ability level because such judgments require inferences from probabilistic indicants of talent about which they may have limited knowledge. Self-appraisals are, therefore, partly based on the opinions of others who presumably possess evaluative competence
Albert Bandura

Our educational system in its entirety does nothing to give us any kind of material competence. In other words, we don't learn how to cook, how to make clothes, how to build houses, how to make love, or to do any of the absolutely fundamental things of life.
Alan Watts

Perhaps there is no other knowing than the mere competence of the act. If at the heart of one's being, there is no self to which one ought to be true, then sincerity is simply nerve it lies in the unabashed vigor of the pretense. But pretense is only pretense when it is assumed that the act is not true to the agent. Find the agent.
Alan Watts
Image
These are days when no one should rely unduly on his competence. Strength lies in improvisation. All the decisive blows are struck left-handed.
Walter Benjamin
Image
No human being will work hard at anything unless they believe that they are working for competence.
William Glasser
Image
There is no more critical indicator of the future of a society than the character, competence, and integrity of its youth.
Urie Bronfenbrenner
Image
Whatever sense of professional competence we feel in adult life is less the sum of accomplishment than the absence of impossibility: it's really our relief at no longer having to do things we were never good at doing in the first place - relief at never again having to dissect a frog or memorize the periodic table.
Adam Gopnik

The New York Hilton is laid out with a competence that would make a computer blush.
Ada Louise Huxtable
Image
Every discipline develops standards of professional competence to which its workers are subject... Every scientific community is a society in the small, so to speak, with its own agencies of social control.
Abraham Kaplan
Image
Lowered reliability obviously yields a lesser competence. But lowered breadth does so as well.
Ernest Sosa
Image
In every union roles are assumed, some traditional, some not. My husband used to pay his own bills, I used to call my own repairman. But as marriages progress, you surrender areas of your own competence, often without even knowing it.
