Much to unpick... "Pezzuti’s interest is in coolness as ... economic labour or production. His hypothesis is that – just as tribal societies prize skilled hunters, who provide food for the group – today’s information economy turns on creativity and innovation."

Can I learn to be cool – even though I am garrulous, swotty and wear no-show socks?
An international study found cool people are extroverted, open, hedonistic, adventurous, autonomous and powerful. At best, I have three of these traits. Could I change that?

Sources at Historic Environment Scotland claim,

“To say it is chaos at the top is an understatement."

“We have no idea why the CEO has been suspended but it appears to be personality driven."

While an investigator found staff “uncomfortable and frightened to speak for the fear of retribution”.
