Zack Lencioni

Zack Lencioni (graduating, knock wood, in 2009, after a mere five years) is notoriously reticent. This reticence is reflected, for example, in the fact that it took such a long for a WikiFire page to be created for (by?) him. Before now, if you searched for "Lencioni" the only result to come up, with a kind of poetic appropriateness, was "Awkward."

He tends to write in long, somewhat opaque sentences. He tends to speak in short, somewhat opaque sentences (of which grunts typically play a not-insubstantial role). He is working on it, with some success as of late. His glorious return to Knox after a nearly year-long leave of absence will come in Winter Term 2009. You may want to begin stocking up on garland, wreathes, bunting, bugles, and such now, as their availability in northwestern Illinois can be limited.

It is difficult to tell whether his tendency towards self-aggrandizement is a form of ironic self-deprecation or genuine egotism. One must not rule out there existing simultaneously elements of both.
