red--a good combination of the
bony and muscular type and the fat man type. This man's eyes are the
neither round, wide-open eyes of simple credulity nor the long, narrow,
somewhat oblique slits of secretiveness, avarice, shrewdness and
suspicion. His face tends to roundness, curves and dimples, and his lips
are rather full. His head is especially high and dome-shaped just above
the temples and behind the hair line. His chin may be fairly well formed
or it may be narrow and retreating. If it is of the narrow and retreating
variety, then some of the characteristics are accentuated.

This man is a man of intense enthusiasm, great energy, a desire to
accomplish things and to be the head of whatever he undertakes. He is
eager, responsive, emotional, ambitious, and erratic. He is often
brilliant, nearly always resourceful, conceives large projects, attempts
big things, makes friends with important people, and often secures a very
enviable reputation, at least for a time. But this man has his faults. He
is emotional and enthusiastic. He throws himself intensely into the
accomplishment of one ambitious plan after another. He has not the
calmness of dispassionate judgment and the deliberateness necessary to be

the moment, absolutely without reference to their fitness for the work he
wants them to do. The ruling emotion which prompts him in selection may be
any one of a dozen. We have seen men like this select important
lieutenants because of their personal attractiveness, because someone else
wanted them, because of similarity of tastes in matters wholly irrelevant,
because the fellows knew how to flatter, out of sympathy for their
families, and, in one pathetic case, because the young man thus chosen had
painstakingly read through an immense set of books supposed to be
representative of the world's best literature.

INJUSTICE TO EMPLOYEES

In many cases, enthusiasm and optimism on the part of such executives have
placed men in positions far beyond their capacity and loaded them with
responsibilities for which they had no aptitudes. Oftentimes such rapid
promotion and such sudden increase of income have utterly turned the head
of the victim, setting him back years in his normal development and his
pursuit o
