Oh, But I was so much older then - I'm younger than that now

What's worse - poor management or poor leadership? I saw the former get a beat down from the latter today and much as I am pained by bad management, it can be worked around. I don't think bad leadership can be, especially if it is unquestioned. It brings to mind that old Hans Christian Andersen classic, ' The Emperor's New Clothes'.

Sometimes I feel like a deck hand on the Exxon Valdez with Capt Joesph Hazelwood at the helm. With all the officers going on about how fine the good Captain navigates around those icebergs after polishing off his third bottle of rum - please, have another, Captain! That's a great idea!

Hans, I wish you were here ...
