Likeability or Something Like.....Ability ( Archived) (31)

You are the owner of a multi-national Fortune 500 company that deals with the public often. YOU are very good at business, ethical, and know what it takes to present your product/service to the public. You possess this charm and have great public people skills.

You've put your company philosophy/policy in place. You've made appropriations for charity. Your employees are well compensated, and you are turning a good profit.

You want to retire to your private island and let someone else run the business and you'll just periodically check in.(One can dream!)

For some strange reason you've come down to only 2 candidates that are even considerable. This is theoretical so, there are no "real world" answers like you can have both.

Your Choices:

A)A business whiz who understands corporate functions, has finger on the pulse of latest fads and trends, can isolate and target specific markets to maximize advertising budgets - but - is awkward, lacking in people skills, horrific public speaker often accidentally saying inappropriate things

B) Not the sharpest tool in the shed but can fake brilliance in public. They can handle the press with ease. They always say the right thing, always charm the clients and the public. The thing they ARE brilliant at is presentation (social graces, dressing for success, setting the tone)

What's your choice?

Nope...I choose C). because I can... I am selling the company, floating it on the stock market, and giving all my employees a fair stock potfolio, and appointing a board of directors...


I've made my money, I have my island, what more can a barefoot hippy want????


Yeah I know...cop-out queen...

Some can only deal with the theoretical if it's there own theories!

Your choices sucked...am too dang happy to be giving either of them the company!!! Sheesh!

OK then..talk about "Suckie Choices"...ONLY ruthless business tycoons can afford to buy the company. Retiring in good conscience will give you 80+ more hours a week too be happy.

I wonder what will happen to all those charities and employees you care so deeply about.

Wanna bet???

I will give it to the charities to run....I don't need the money, and I thought there was only 24 hours in a day no matter what your income....you mean I can acquire more hours?

Are the prices different for daylight, to night time?

I'd take B.

B's weakness is more easily manged with "periodic check ins".

You mean the Charities drowning in administrative costs?
168 Hours a week
Your employees need the money.

makes sense
