I'd describe myself as a pragmatist tinged with idealism.
For a pragmatist like me, the important issues concern the words we might deploy to achieve our purposes, rather than the language we actually use.
pragmatist that I am, I always meet necessity with enthusiasm.
My engineering training taught me to be a systems thinker. I looked at companies as "systems" and saw work as a system of tasks - that needed to be reengineered. I was also focused on operations, getting things done and built. My engineering training taught me to be a pragmatist.
A pragmatist is concerned with results, not reality.
I use that as my responsibility on the show, to be the pragmatist.
