Added line(s) 0 (click to see context) :

'''Basic Trope''': A character at the top of the business, successful for their own weird form of logic.
* '''Straight''': Alice has some very odd behavior and dresses very eccentrically, quite often confusing those new to her. She's run her business for three decades simply for how her form of logic allows her to come up with ideas others don't have.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice is often likened to a mad artist that should never be able to succeed, and will regularly do things that is thought people should never be allowed to do, defying social expectations all the time. She's also the head of one of the [[biggest companies that exists, having made it with her own hands. Fiction500]]
* '''Downplayed''': Alice is slightly eccentric but can otherwise fit in easily. She is a trader working by herself and regularly finds herself able to think up different ideas that don't make sense until those around her stop to think about them.
* '''Justified''': Alice's odd form of logic is what lets her see others don't - ideas you can't think of until you think along her lines.
* '''Inverted''':
** OnlySaneMan, where one character is sane and everybody else is mad, making them successful at that moment in time. 
** TheCaligula, whose insanity makes them a danger to others while they are at the top.
* '''Subverted''': 
** Alice has a few bad ideas... which bring down the company, in the process.
** Alice isn't really the boss of the company... the executives regard her as an office pet, keeping her around for what she amusement she may provide.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** ... But Alice has other ideas which allow her to rise again.
** Or so they say. She actually IS the boss, claiming she's an office pet is to see how others will react to her at first, as they're aware that her ideas at the top make her quite different, but also allow them to judge newcomers.
* '''Parodied''': Alice is a floating, purple cloud which spouts brilliant ideas and logic as if she were a business oracle. Her caretakers charge quite a bit to let others see her, as she gives them ideas.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': ???
* '''Enforced''': 
** The story has a executive in it, and the writers add in eccentric behavior to spice her up a little, to avoid having her being boring.
** The character is an expy of [[CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka], or the work references him in some other manner.
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': ???
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
