The Young Executive's Guide to Perfection

It is reputed that young executives intend to become old executives, and, in turn, old executives intend to become young executives. Is it true that the older we get, the younger we become, until we sit in the middle of the floor drooling on a lifetime of accumulated toys? Obviously, this is the logical order of executive thinking, particularly in the rarefied air of Corporate World. Perfection is the goal of all executives, and this humorous guide, which may be more serious than one might consider, could provide some interesting aspects in that regard. Whether young or old, perfection is the ideal, so think of this guide as a confirmation of your personal, professional perfection, which you firmly believe is lofty. But, what if your lofty perfection is closer to the ground than the clouds? As in any evaluation to prove or refute an opinion, lofty or otherwise, a series of evaluations, tests if you will, must be performed, in secret, if insecurity is part of your personality, or in the blazing light of day, if you are courageous to a fault. Either way, a set of standards must be applied. Can you take the heat in the dead of winter, or survive the chills of summer? Realize you want to avoid the responsibilities your boss endures, but you want his or her job and commensurate pay. Find this guide to perfection, a good start, or accept the fact that you may fail miserably. Find out now, and have some fun. Learn something. Once you have completed the guide, you will have a new view on your competition or a new lust to retire to the islands and write a book guiding young executives to the clouds and beyond.
