Death of Candor, Life of Optimism
Okay, maybe I'm just an anomaly. Maybe I'm a weird hybrid of European and American. Maybe it's even just a symptom of me being a "creative" (albeit with MBA) dealing in the world of "suits"...

Why are folks who care so obviously about their companies and their products ALLOWED to be regarded as strange artifacts when they bring up the uncomfortable or the plainly obvious or the tremendously optimistic (which are often one and the same)?
