Clarification-
The VP(male) said, "I bet your nurses think you're hot!" to a top Medical Exec at this Company. The statement was made after a Sales and Marketing Strat planning meeting. The Medical Exec that this statement was said to is also male. This statement had nothing to do with selling. The VP has a "man crush" on anyone who might be a faster runner, be higher on the corporate ladder than himself, be a certain male physician in Houston, or be a top consistent male sales specialist.
Highly incompetent people tend to try to cover their deficiencies by sucking up to all around them. This suck up has been promoted far beyond his skill level. He can keep trying, but those with any ounce of intelligence see right through his antics! Since he likes to read so much, he might want to pick up a few books on people skills and learning how to be a leader becase he lacks any natural leadership abilities. BTW being well read means nothing if you can't apply the knowledge. More super fine leadership calls by Viro--Can you picture the titantic yet? tug tug
