Abstract: He was born in 1938 in Southern Greece. His father was self-employed. He is married and completed graduate studies in Economics/Commercial sciences. He has had previous experience in the Accounting/Finance function and strongly believes that this area consists the fastest route "to the top". He believes that the basic traits leading a person to success in management are creativity, desire for responsibility, concern for results and ambition, while the fundamental skills and knowledge enhancing his career are sound planning, communication, leadership, organization and methods. He does not consider such traits as integrity, patience, honesty, and such skills as working in groups, learning capacity, analytical thinking as very significant for his route towards the top. Who is he? A Greek senior manager, as depicted out of a recent survey. The foregoing is his sketch.
