Leprechaun Leader

    0.10 sec.
Leprechaun Leader
A corporate manager or executive who, like the fabled Irish elf, is a mischievous and elusive creature said to possess buried treasures of money and gold.

Notes:
According to Irish folklore, the location of hidden treasure is revealed only when the leprechaun is caught. In the case of a leprechaun leader, the "buried treasure" is not usually buried, but rather in a protected offshore account!

Examples of leprechaun leaders are the executives of Enron, who stowed away millions of dollars until they were finally caught.

Also spelled as Lepre-'con' leader.
