You'd rather the banal corporate beige in every other handbook? At least this reads like someone means it.

I 100% agree with the sentiment. If I had staff, it's the benchmark I'd apply (even if I did word it a touch differently).

Here, let me paste you, verbatim, an ex-colleague's LinkedIn description. This might be more up your alley.

    Over 25 years’ experience employing strong business and architectural skills in orchestrating and delivering innovative solutions that provide quantifiable business value to medium and large enterprises.

    I have strong technical leadership, a broad background in technology and a deep understanding of business drivers and challenges across multiple sectors which enables me to assist organisations in removing technical blockers and delivering business outcomes. Employing enterprise architecture principles, I am able to balance strategic thinking with pragmatic operational delivery to ensure life-cycle optimisation, organisational change and IT governance requirements are addressed.

No, I'd rather straight talk clear of idealism about being a corporate cog. It doesn't have to be one or the other.

It reads like someone wants to sound cool but fails to do so.

That corporate drivel is insufferable and completely meaningless. I would never hire that person. But if that person described themselves as in your parent poster's example, I wouldn't believe it either.
