I don't think you can come up with a stereotype for that.
I've seen just as many people with real-world experience that have trouble "getting shit done" -- because getting shirt done is hard for every human being on this planet.
That said, many people coming from academia do suffer from disappointment with the state of the industry, where boring projects are the ones that generate immediate revenue.
And the ability of seeing the bigger picture (I know it sounds enterprisey, but that's how I see it). I can still remember our 1st year Physics professor telling us, a class of nerdy CS kids, about how familiarity and a deeper understanding of the field you're writing your programs for is way more important than pointers, data structures etc.
