management taxonomy

I need to get this down before I forget it all again...

There are three basic management styles:
  1. Deer in the Headlights (D-H);
  2. Squirrel in the Road (S-R);
  3. Bunny in the Bushes (B-B).
D-H management sees the oncoming apocalypse, stands firm until the very last moment, and then bolts headlong into it. The S-R types notice something amiss and then rush from pillar to post trying all the possible escape strategies until they are exhausted. B-B's sit safely by the side of the road until the last second and then bolt into oblivion.

I only mention this because, on my way home these last few days, a number of Bunnies have attempted to execute on their environmental management predilections (unsuccessfully, so far).
