The
Burned-Out Executive
This
is the person that has accomplished more
than you will in a lifetime. They have taken
a break – permanent or temporary –
from the business world and have found refuge
in the classroom. They are in control of
matters now and can go at their own pace.
This type has tremendous intellect as well
as a mid- to high-level of education that
accelerated their career at an early age.
But this made them burn both ends of the
candle at once. The problem is that at some
point in their career, they realized that
they had seen everything go by and now wish
to take the scenic route. You will get valuable
lessons from this person, the most important
being to enjoy things. If you encounter
him early on in your schooling, you will
be blown away by their persona. If you meet
them later in your academic career when
you have narrowed the gap, they may not
give you the credit you deserve, as you
pose a threat. This is the residual effect
of a background in a cutthroat environment.
Learn from them and ensure that you do not
make their mistakes.
