The "Peace Maker"
I worked with a guy like this and it's miserable.
The types who try to keep EVERYONE happy all the time, no matter how conflicting his promises are toward the end goal. Projects get over-due because requirements are constantly changing to make people feel "fuzzy inside". When approached about delays, the peace maker may also try to use his skills by saying "yes, we discussed this and I understand your concerns" and justify it by stating his altruistic intentions to improve the morale and well being of the organization, not realizing it has caused more meetings than necessary, over-due projects and alot of very, very, very confused people.
The peace maker is a likely candidate to fail a drug test and jam out to dated hippy songs in his VW.
I'm all for morale and organizational well-being, but you just can't please everyone all the time.
