For cryin’ out loud; Position your Personnel to include type-Characters
By Pat Darnell

Did you ever notice that HoolyWood has room for only about eight to twelve personalities? After those are filled, then it is the waiting game for duplicate personalities to have each a turn at the top.
For instance type characters, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, and Ernest Borg-nine of Eight, and Jerry Lewis have a place in this lineup. I figure James Dean, Marlon Brando and James Garner are some other type characters that come to mind. Ginger Rogers, Bette Davis, Lucille Ball and Cher are also distinct leading and supporting types.

In this posting I will prove that modern diversity of human capital plays right into the lap of choosing who does what in your businesses.

Traits run in certain patterns, so says the entire body of knowledge of humanists-ologies -- from horoscopes to Brahmanism, modern psychology to zoology, and Joel Olsteinians to Presbyterians. Hey, I like to check my bio-rhythms, horoscopes and chi weekly, don’t you? Look at Britney's horoscope above. Will she eventually take a major role? I think so; she soon will follow the path of M Monroe and Anna N-Smith.

It turns out, for me Bruno Bettelheim started my whole thing when I ran across his studies on a theory. He states that there are only about eight fairy tale themes in the scope of literature. “Bruno Bettelheim is the author of The Uses of Enchantment, published in 1976, in which he discussed the meaning and importance of fairy tales, such as those collected and published by the Brothers Grimm.

"Bettelheim suggests that if children are allowed to read and interpret these fairy tales in their own way, they will get a greater sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. Bettelheim posits that if children are allowed to read about the trials, tribulations, successes, and failures encountered by the heroes of fairy tales, this will better prepare them for their own lives.” (Why iki peed ya)

So who has grown up reading a fariy tale and replaced Marilyn for instance, if only for a brief time? Out of the trillions who have tried including Jane Mansfield -- Anna Nic-Smith had a good run at it. The comic tragedy of the role is almost now an urban legend. Who will be the next? I guess it is Britney Spears seen here on her way back to rehab. Too bad Marilyn didn't have re-hab back then.
Elvis has so many impersonators, but I suspect Nicolas Cage is the understudy who holds the closest Elvis replacement proposition value. Nicolas Cage and Lisa Marie Presley were married for three months, shown below.

Finding a unique character is difficult to very near impossible for speculative casting directors. Collective conscience of the movie-going customers ranges very far developmentally from 8 to 80 years old.

Casting a character who defies gravity of an established role character is death for the casting crew in movie productions. So replacements must be blatant tributes, or subtle copies, or the movie project fails. Procurement of personas fitting the eight to twelve characters recognized by the public is a good model for human resources in growing businesses.

I continually find this tricky natural pattern of personas has merit and can hold its own in all general groups. For instance Presidential Cabinet, average families, kindergartens and daycares, Santa's Helpers, sevens of dwarves, drug cartels, Knights Templar... oh the list is endless full of sub-groups and tell-tale with the disambiguitions of inclusive types that are duplicitous, yet necessary. The key is for the business owner to not try to duplicate him or her self, rather hire type characters for the major roles in the business. Your C-Team might be led by a personality completely opposite of oneself.

So pardon if I ask:
“Who is going to replace Hugh Hefner?’ Our latent Midwesterner playboy persona is an Octogenarian and cannot last for very many more decades. Who is waiting in the wings to take over the Mansion? If you look at recent past earnings Playboy is losing its margin in the periodical readership game, for several years past now --

Well, the ‘Girls Gone Wild’ guy is in jail; the guy I work next to at my night job thinks he is two sit-ups from being Hef’s groomed heir, but is the average dork-wannabe playboy.

It turns out all the other playboys are semi-octogenarians too. That is why I think the only qualified replacement will be one who is amicable to women, tall, original, skinny and young:

i.e. Snoop Dogg.

aka Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr.[1] (born October 20, 1971), better known professionally as Snoop Dogg and previously Snoop Doggy Dogg, (Ibid. Why iki...)

A FAQ rises to one's lips: Who did Hefner choose as his frontispiece in 1953? Playboys Remember and covet?

“The first issue, published in December 1953, did not carry a date, as Hefner was unsure whether there would be a second issue. The first centerfold was Marilyn Monroe, although the picture used had originally been taken for a calendar, rather than for Playboy. The first issue was an immediate sensation; it sold out within a matter of weeks. Known circulation was 53,991 (Source: Playboy Collector's Association Playboy Magazine Price Guide). The cover price was 50¢. Copies of the first issue in Mint to Near Mint condition fetched over $5,000 in 2002.” (why iki peed ya)

-- BUT --

"In 2005, Hugh attempted to create an Indian version of Playboy for India, which would feature South Asian women and Indian pop culture articles, but no nudity. He wanted to have Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai on the cover of the first issue. The magazine was rejected." (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0005005/bio)

I ask: Did Hefner forget the original tapestry of persona that kicks off a good rag? I think so. I disavow talk that Aishwarya Rai is secretly dating George W Bush, even if Jeb and Neil Bush are covering for their brother president. So, Hef blew the cover model choice for India; no match for M Monroe caliber.

Conclusion: Small Business Guide to Personnel Choices
I have recurring fantasies of owning my own company, and then incorporating with employees representing certain personalities who fill key leadership roles. Oh, you too?
For instance I covet the following personalities for my corp:

• My Sales and Marketing team would be led by the VP that would have been a rock ‘n roll band leader, or Hobo Band, at one time. I mean a band that had gone town to town across Missouri playing Honky Tonks where they split the door with the owners.
• My CEO would be someone who taught Kindergarten in public school, preferably from Hispanic neighborhood.
• My CIO, chief information officer, would have to be a Veteran of Foreign War, preferably disabled.
• My human resources VP would come from underpaid teaching and music background, such as an Orchestra or Band instruction.
• And my CFO, chief financial officer must be an Italian woman, or German nun, who has raised seven of her own children, and some children for others, who now has some time to pursue her own career in her late fifties.

Hey! I'm an Equal Opportunity Employer, get real! > pd out

The actor (Will Smith) met up with the princess of bollywood, Aishwarya Rai and gave her a detailed narration of the story and plot of his film; he then asked her if she would play the lead role in the film. He lavished a lot of praises on her talent and appeal in the west. According to sources Miss Rai was to star opposite Smith in Hitch but was unable to do so as she was busy with Gurinder Chadha’s film, Bride and Prejudice at the time. Aishwarya will definitely give this offer some serious thought.

Another reason for Aishwarya Rai’s heart to swell with pride is that American President George Bush would like to meet her. Miss Rai has received an invitation from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for the prestigious power lunch with the US President at the Taj Palace in New Delhi. Following the lunch invite came a dinner invitation from President Abdul Kalam too. http://www.bollywoodmantra.com/1084_will-smith-and-george-bush-fond-of-aishwarya-rai.html
