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.

So what does that have to do with what we were discussing?
