Workplace Personalities - The Urban Warrior

The Urban Warrior is a technical and time management genius.

They know how to use the latest handheld and connectivity technology to always appear like they are at their desks. You will never get an email from them that ends with "Sent from my iPhone". They can be on a ski lift and appear to have answered your query from their cube.

They also manage to fit the snowboarding, fishing trips, boating trips, sporting events around the work they have to do, without ever falling behind or getting caught. They take all their vacation days, and then some. They manage to get the business travel assignments to the best locations, and somehow fit in a round of golf.

The Urban Warrior is, as far as I'm concerned, a God.

Key signs: 

• A lot of sporting equipment strapped to the top of their car
• A well used smartphone
• A very lightweight laptop

Catch phrase:  There isn't one.  They somehow appear to be a normal employee.  

Your Strategy: Investigate.  Emulate.

Their comeuppance:  Doesn't happen.  Unless they break their leg snowboarding.
