Being Conservative and Daring


Wendy: I really don’t think Monty is the right person for this project. He’s too conservative in his thinking. We need someone who’s a risk taker. 


Burt: Monty will get the job done. That’s the most important thing. 


Wendy: Not if the finished product is staid and boring. Our client won’t be happy with that. 


Burt: Okay, who do you have in mind? 


Wendy: I was thinking of giving the project to Lorenzo. 


Burt: Lorenzo? Well, he certainly likes to push the envelope, but he’s also a loose cannon 1. Sometimes his ideas pan out and sometimes they fall flat. 


Wendy: But Lorenzo is bold and daring. Did you see what he did on his last project? It was genius! 


Burt: It was reckless. It was only through sheer luck that everything worked out. I know that Monty’s ideas are more conventional and low-key, but they’re also tried-and-true. But, in the end, it’s your call. 


Wendy: In that case, I’m going with Lorenzo. I’m sure he’ll do a great job. 


Burt: I hope so. I wouldn’t want us to end up with egg on our face.
