I am looking for a new GM for a business I own. I've narrowed it down to 2 guys.
The first guy has about 60 years experience in the company in one compacity or another, and knows the interworkings very well. I only need him to have this job for 4 to 8 years, and he seems like the most qualified.
The second guy has 2 years experience in the company, but has never gotten any real work done, if he shows up at all. Several of his friends and mentors work for a competetor that wants to take my company over and run it the exact opposite way of my original intent. He really doesn't seen like the most qualified guy in the world, and I really question his judgement.
hmmmm... I think I'll hire the second guy for the most important job in my company... Did I forget to mention that I've never had a black GM, and he's bi-racial, so that would be historical. Oh, and he said he was gonna change the company.... the details have been fuzzy on how, but he's a fantastic speaker, so it has to be good, right?
Sound familiar to anyone??? Thought a nice analogy to this prez election would be good for the idiots that won tonite to read.
