3: "There's got to be a better way" Idealist

This Bad Executive is JUST PLAIN ANNOYING.

Here's the facts. The world is full of dreamers. Some of them become artists, philosophers, poets, writers, musicians and yes, even politicians. Depending on how good they are at dreaming, we sometimes call them schizophrenics.

Unless you're Enron, the bottom line consists of cash. Measurable, countable, quantifiable cash.

Balance sheets don't account for dreams.

This idiot hasn't learnt this lesson.

Often seen with:
  • Hair blowing in the wind, standing atop a bluff as the lightning flashes down into the valley and the thunder booms all around, railing at a God who could possibly let the project come in 10% over budget
Tell-tale signs:
  • A well thumbed copy of Who Moved My Cheese sandwiched between ET - The Film Script and The Art of Possiblity
Favourite Saying:
  • "You know, the indigenous people of Borneo have learnt to coexist with the Orang-utan because of a mutual respect for their shared rain forest environment. We can learn from our Bornean cousins..."
Puts faith in:
  • A Higher Purpose
  • That others will always do the right thing in the end, you just have to belive, have faith and... Sorry, can't write any more, I want to punch them right on the nose...
