Oh, so good !
My most bizarre brush with folks like this (believe it, please!) was during a stint with a state gov't agency when a couple of frustrated wannabe marketing clones decided that a poster and a logo (in that order!) needed to be developed. (Most likely they had bombed out of private sector marketing.) Three months later and countless wasted hours of 'underlings' time and effort resulted in a poster-in-search-of-a-logo being brought forward to the top agency person for approval to use in an in-house pilot program ! Thank goodness, a lightning strike occurred and the top person looked questioningly at the ersatz 'marketers' and said "NO".
BTW: No appropriated or tax funds can be used by state agencies for such purposes, a detail overlooked by the wannabe marketers in their zeal.

Here's another that is seldom asked, even when it could well be part of the position's duties:
Have you fired someone? What were the reasons and how well do you now think the termination was conducted?
