And there is Type 3 - over flowing with energy and drive to succeed but zero imagination or creativity.
They waste everyones energy and time and ideally should be shot of into space to leave the rest of the chimp troupe in peace.

His comment on Type 3 - "One must beware of anyone who is both stupid and hardworking; he must not be entrusted with any responsibility because he will always only cause damage."
I once had a manager and his manager who were both like this. I've never seen a dynamic duo with more skill in turning a group of good ICs in a bunch of dancing monkeys churning out pointless work. But hey, while problems solved was zero, number of PowerPoints in the shared drive was over 9000.
Vegeta would be impressed.
lol. I'm glad somebody got this reference. It's pretty dated at this point. Nowadays it's all about people going bald after working out.
Interesting read of his wikipedia.
He is regarded as "an undisguised opponent" of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime.
As far as epitaphs go, you could certainly do worse.
When I think about the workplace, I've usually interpret this version of stupid as a way of saying that there is a type of personality where the compulsion to do something completely overrides asking themselves if that thing should be done in the first place. The end result is exactly what you said - shotgun frantic activity because everything needs to be done and everything is a top priority. They are not stupid per se, but they create an astonishing amount of stupid and wasteful activity.
Unfortunately there are people who really are just stupid as well. I'm sure in the Armed forces that can have deathly consequences.
The next ones are stupid and lazy; they make up 90 percent of every army and are suited to routine duties.
Anyone who is both clever and lazy is qualified for the highest leadership duties, because he possesses the mental clarity and strength of nerve necessary for difficult decisions.
