I found this interesting article describing Crazy Bosses and thought it fitting in guaging the public feelings of our Mayor. I know it is kind of a long read but found it interesting if you take the time to read it.


Joseph Stalin, Russian dictator. Sent people to gulag, killed millions

The bully
Symptoms

  • Default emotion: rage.
  • Extremely inconsistent, vast emotional swings depending on mood, often seemingly unrelated to external circumstances.
  • Capable of great affection and loyalty, which may be withdrawn at any time.
  • Manipulative and self- pitying, highly aggressive personality that has no problem asserting its priorities over those of others.
  • Extremely insensitive about feelings of others while at the same time extremely solicitous of his or her own.
  • Requires enemies in order to function properly; if none are handy is not averse to creating them.
  • Contagion factor: 96.
  • Level of difficulty: 100. Bully management is perhaps the most difficult of all tasks for those who wish to survive in a world filled with the impressive variety of sick senior officers.

    Richard III, King of England: Killed little princes in the tower; welched on promises of long term compensation to senior management.
    The paranoid
    Symptoms
  • Default emotion: fear.
  • May at times appear "normal," but is always perched on the verge of an explosive display of hyperhysteria.
  • Capable of great, intense emotion but virtually no actual feeling.
  • Highly mistrustful of others, always looking for motivations and intentions detrimental to his interests.
  • Convinced others are talking, plotting, or conspiring against him; acutely attuned to insults and slights of any kind.
  • Delusional, able to construct vast mountains of conjecture out of molehill of evidence.
  • Cannot stand to be contradicted.
  • Vengeful, has memory of an elephant for people who have hurt him and is intent on meting out retribution.
  • Very organized in the face of the ostensible forces against him.
  • Demands great loyalty while giving very little him- or herself.
  • Contagion factor: 74.
  • Level of difficulty: 69. Unlike bullies, who are often highly lethal to those around them, the paranoid's symptoms make him easier to manage than might at first be expected.

    Stanley Bing, author: Hey. What am I doing here.
    The narcissist
    Symptoms
  • Default emotion: emptiness. Think of a vast, blank wall that can be temporarily sprayed with any available can of paint, the prevailing color being the one most recently employed.
  • Incapable of viewing others as real creatures with needs discrete from his or her own, consequently has no problem using others for any purpose that furthers his or her desires, up to and including their destruction, for which he or she will feel no remorse. Remorse in general not a strong suit.
  • Bipolar internal landscape, vacillates between delusions of grandeur, during which time he or she may be quite pleasant, even "happy," and abject depression brought about by feelings of inadequacy and unimportance. At such times, may appear paranoid or mutate into hard-to-handle bully. Prone to terrible rage or suicidal self-pity when this artificial cosmic construct (with his or her self at the center) is contradicted by ample evidence to the contrary.
  • Bold and heedless in the face of danger; highly imaginative, given to flights of fancy fueled by lack of any instinct for self-doubt, during which any and all ideas will be perceived as brilliant, even inevitable, no matter how lame.
  • Capable of great generosity and random acts of kindness, because they make him feel good about himself and justify his egocentric worldview. Zero attention span, concentration of a small child.
  • Most used word: "I." Second most used word: "Me."
  • Contagion factor: 34 (not enough oxygen in the room). Narcissists make for great viewing, but you rarely want to be one of them.
  • Level of difficulty: 45. For those unwilling to suck up: 96.

    Neville Chamberlain: Appeasing Hitler produced "peace in our time" followed by world war, winning this weenie the #1 Wimp of All Time Award.
    The wimp
    Symptoms
  • Default emotion: anxiety.
  • A soul laboring under the continuous feeling of being inadequate and overwhelmed by incoming demands for action, decision, ideation.
  • Intensely rigid, finding comfort for conviction of not being up to the job in procedure, process, and bureaucracy; exceedingly timid, scared of own shadow; impossible to make clear decisions or communicate them.
  • Prone to be overly impressed by idiotic fads that sweep certain cultures now and then; vast consumer of cheesy business books.
  • Huge generator of paper and forms, which stay on his or her desk for weeks awaiting action.
    Schedules constant meetings and venues for creation of consensus that arrives and still takes no concrete steps.
  • Eater of credit; takes ideas and plans of others as his own the moment they appear acceptable, jettisons all responsibility or accountability for them the moment any controversy appears.
  • Nauseating capacity to focus on meaningless detail and sit at same table for hours without breaking for coffee or bodily functions.
  • Under fire, may morph into trembling paranoid hiding behind closed door; even when not paranoid, often prefers privacy of own office to company of others.
  • Contagion factor: 86. One enormous wimp at the top of an organization can produce a whole culture dependent on meaningless process. At the same time, may extrude one or more vicious dogsbodies who end up making all the decisions.
  • Level of difficulty: 23. A decisive subordinate can do quite well with a wimp; if, however, you are another wimp - 94.

    Kim Jong I'll: Working hard every day to blow up something and rename it after himself. One day he just might set the world on fire.
    The disaster hunter
    Symptoms
  • Default emotions: desire. Lust. The hunger.
  • Wants more. More money. More booze. More sex. More publicity. More power. More, more, more. Whatever he or she has accomplished so far feels like an appetizer for the meal to come.
  • Last-stage character disorder; individual no longer able to contain massive, bloated impulses within any meaningful framework; sense of being out of control, of heedlessly hurtling toward something inevitable; obvious to everybody but himself.
  • Exciting to be around; implements actions with minimal thought, lots of activity, late-night parties, shocking behavior sometimes bordering on the illicit or the illegal, eventually going over that border into no-man's-land where those who follow will be sucked under also.
  • Doesn't listen; will pursue inadvisable strategies, from bad acquisitions to outrageous sexual liaisons to inexplicable global conflicts, without heeding warnings from advisors.
  • Vicious when thwarted; access to great reservoirs of anger that dissipate when momentary needs are satisfied.
  • Not above working drunk, gambling like a moron, disappearing for a few days without leaving word.
  • Like all addicts, will lie and bend facts to fit whatever plan he or she has in mind.
  • Contagion factor: 12 - unless you're a moron, too.
  • Level of difficulty: 100. Just stand back and watch it all go down.

    ...should at least be a choice of "all of the first three." but that still doesn't cover his penchant for:

    His overspending with OUR money, primarily on shiny lights, bike paths, silly fountains that just cry out for the random gallon or so of liquid soap.

    His total disregard for providing the needed basics, such as Police Officers, Firemen, the equipment that they need to do their jobs, decently maintained roads/streets, reliable garbage pickup and disposal, a first class recycling and composting service, and so much more that makes up the bulk of his job duties.

    His petulance, his arrogance, and his increasingly frequent schizo-psychotic events/moments...

    You know, the stuff that makes "his dishonor" so gosh darn charming and likable. . .

    Okay, that last sentence was a bit of sarcasm ;-)
