Merlin1047 said:CSM, I know that during your career you have found that there are basically two types of people in leadership positions. One type supports his subordinates and contemporaries, helps them in the performance of their duties and makes everyone around him look good. He usually doesn't receive enough credit for his efforts, but he takes satisfaction in a job well done.
Then there is the type who attempts to make himself look good by making others look bad. He hoards information like miser's gold. He is critical and quick to complain and ultimately he runs an organization that is demoralized and inefficient.
The French are like that second person. Their day of greatness has passed. Now all they can do is point fingers at the real or perceived flaws of others.
They should be pitied.
Great analogy.
