This reminds of Seth Godin's "Linchpin", it's kinda the same idea. Misfits provide value that can't be placed on a resume in terms of job skills - but they do have the ability to provide value that creates hearty, intense recommendations from their co-workers as they move forward.

I'd settle for people stopping insisting I "fit". Actually, I fit just fine with the people I interact with directly (of all sorts). But guard me from those who show up with their basket full of pre-conceptions.
