One who understands the power of nondisclosure agreements.

You might find it surprising that an executive signed a long-lasting non-disparagement agreement, but obviously they wouldn't have got the job otherwise. These are a very real problem. Especially the use of NDAs to cover up gross misconduct.

(a particularly egregious example: Neil Gaiman!)

One that realizes that this cannot backfire in any way. If dad asks to throw a rock at the neighbor, whats the worst that could happen?
