ANIMALS OF THE CORPORATE JUNGLE - GORILLA

 GORILLA - SALES MANAGER

1. Eyes spitting fire, nostrils flared, grinding teeth is the usual picture of an angry Sales manager, and like a frustrated Gorilla, he thumps his chest (or table) to emphasise his authority.

2. Inspite of his uncouth appearance and occassional tantrums, the Gorilla is not as ferocious as we think, and when not angry he is good natured and playful.

3. He is also a good eater and likes to roam in search of new pastures and may be away from home for a number of days, although he does not like to go too far away to difficult or unknown areas.

4. Just as the Gorilla likes to swing from place to place, a Sales manager also likes to swing from place to place through transfers.
