“What is your Forte ?” the architect asked my boss, dressed in blue stripes shirt with white lines, you can almost see all the wrinkles on his shirt. His hair was in a mess and every time he talk, his eyes will twitch a little. In my opinion, he must have age between late 40s to early 50s. he looks like one of those people u see in the bar hugging two girls in his arms. But he was an aggressive man, he seems very experienced; not to mentioned that he had use bombastic words in his speech; he was shooting question which was his expertise.
My boss on the other hand is exactly the same type of person as the architect, maybe a little younger and the difference is that, my boss expertise was marketing. He too is an arrogant, egomaniac person who cannot tolerate people to harass him with question that he cannot answered, so he met his match.
Both arrogant people sitting in the same meeting room, facing each other trying to reach an agreement. In my point of view, they both seems to out beat each other rather than to come to conclusion. The other directors that were present were not contributing in stopping the heated discussion. It looked like they were watching a tennis match, their eyeball swinging from left to right. This was fun, well in my thought of course. But deep inside, I really wished that they could end the crazy discussion.
If this was a gamble; my side will be on the opposition party; why? Because the architect is on the developer side;, and we would need the developer to fund us in marketing activities, therefore whatever crap that was coming out from this architect which did not makes sense has to make sense now. This is the line; this is how the business is run.
In conclusion, well there was no conclusion…do you think its possible for two same kind of person to fight equally in this competition, I don’t think so…….. the forte?
Both stubborn people creating havoc…
