If those folks really had no passion, they'd have no decisions to
make. Decisions are ultimately about passion.

Exactly. I want the execs to be passionate about all of those people
as they make their decisions.
> They do not trust emotion as a sound basis for decision making.
I've known many people to be unaware of the passion and emotion that
underlies their decisions and actions. Their passion tends to express
itself in strange ways.
> Passionate presentations are discounted as unreliable.
Every presentation includes an element of passion. It may also
include elements of reason.
> Decisions made on the basis of passion are considered unreliable.
Every decision is fundamentally based in passion. It may also include
elements of reason. Passion creates the very context that requires
the decision. Without passion, there is nothing to decide, and
nothing to apply reason to.
> People who make decisions on that basis are considered unreliable.
There aren't any other kind of people.

How about passion *and* reason? The two aren't incompatible.

I would love to see more of your passion, Bill.
