I recall a manager who described one of his "seasoned" employees as doing the same amount of work as the others but "Then he adds a perspective that no one else has. I don't know how he does it but he can spot stuff that eludes the rest of us. With his experience, he probably should be doing a lot more work and yet I can't afford to lose his insight. That's the main reason why I keep him around."
