Default Re: My \"Political Philosophy\"

Hmmm, sure I can.

I work in organizational consulting, which basically means I get to work out solutions for how certain tasks should be organized. For doing task A, we have solution B.

Fully optimistic idealist goes 'Oh, with solution B we'll increase capacity, have higher efficiency, have less overtime. It's splendid, let us implement.'

Realistic idealist goes 'I agree with all things he said, but I expect some people to get angry because the routines change, we will have to expect some conflicts amongst the workers who want overtime and our efficiency for the next 6 months might be reduced as the employees need time to get used to the new system and we might have to rehire if someone decides to leave us. After that I expect things will pick up and in 2 years or so the profit margins should be bigger from going with this solution'

Both want the same, but the realist is probably the best man for the company.
