@lienz, do not hate the Accounting people. Like pharaoh, they love torturing their prisoners. Don't get caught or you'll loose your claims.

BizGiftGuru, the word 'common sense' is in fact a highly-estranged, seriously-technical jargon in the corporate world, it is so hard to comprehend that we see no application at all. Sadly, they can comprehend cost benefit analysis, risk reward trade-off and average weighted score more.

P/S I dressed up like the guy you hired for a party few years back and I was very popular then ... so you have a point there :-)

Zedd,
Agree with Mr.Marketing. Agree with Mr.Engineer too. But I hate 'Mr.Account'. More justification, worse acceptance. Not from customers, but from that CEO. Convincing without figure is wastage of effort for them!

Maybe because of that, we tend to hate our CEO-that are from the account background..duh!

P/S : Good job Zedd!

Salient points there, but obviously Mr. Ghosn and some commenters here didn't agree.

I believe that's because these people have engineering backgrounds- which explains the eternal feud between marketers and engineers.

It will cause a lot of tense in the organization if either of them (marketers and engineers) lead.

That's why Accounting people will do well here. They're the root of all tensions, so at least employees are used to the tough time they're going to face.

Isn't a marketer a jack of all trades? They need to know the product, how it manufactured, the process and every little detail for negotiating and advertising. They have to understand a lot of different procedures so they can talk to their clients and represent the company.

Cheap Hosting, as they're engaged in manufacturing only, for sure they can find a lot of customers - in the production plant.

Book Calendar, yes, after a while, the engineers should let the marketers take over all the credits.

MarketingDeviant, exactly. Hence the person from Accounting is the best candidate.

Engineers tend to make better CEO initially. They are great for starting companies because they know what they are doing. However, once a company reaches a certain size, it becomes necessary to hire a liar oops, I meant marketer, to sell the product. The engineer should retire and let the marketing machine take over.

In my opinion best CEO or Engineers who are engaged in Manufacturing only.
If they default in Prod. marketeers cant keep promises and loose business.
