"  Dear Cubicle Coach:  I&amp;#039;m a new boss with a hiring quandary: The internal candidate is competent but ordinary, while the other choice is a wild card \u2014 could be great, could be a nightmare. Do I play it safe and go with the one I&amp;#039;ve already worked with?  Dear New Boss:  Commit to memory CC&amp;#039;s Corollary, which states that when choosing between the known mediocrity and the unknown candidate, one should always pick the unknown. You have a 66.7 percent chance of a positive result. Yes, the unknown could flop, but she could also a) do as well as the known, or b) actually be a star. Make this rule number one and you will become recognized and maybe even celebrated for your genius hires. And, CC promises, no more math for a while. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
