The Gunner knows the most. They want it the most. They're going to be first to the top.

There are two kinds of Gunners; the self-centered kind, who snipes his colleagues and brown-noses the consultant, who doesn't share notes or knowledge and never, ever gives tips to his colleagues. This Gunner won't stay late without reaping a rewards.

The other kind of Gunner is to be admired. This Gunner loves his work, his joie de vivre emanates throughout his interactions, conversations and study. He shares his knowledge, teaches his colleagues and encourages their zest for his passion. He lends a hand when the burden is great, thanklessly doing more than his share - he knows he does it easier than some others - his passion drives him.

He appreciates that his passion is not everyone's and is open-minded about the foibles and strengths of others. When it comes to his area of expertise, the Gunner knows. And, he knows when to ask for help.

The Gunner isn't yet at the top; that allows his charisma and determination to shine through. He's learning, so comprehensively, so passionately, so logically, so intensely. This Gunner knows his stuff.

This is the Gunner you want to treat your child.
