This thread isn't going to be locked the instant everybody here understands leadership skills. On an internet forum people are pretty much allowed to talk until they feel like stopping. You exemplify this.

Thanks for narrowing missing my poor attempt at humor and turning into a pseudo-personal attack!

Kudos

I narrowing missed nothing!

Who moved my cheese, or the cheese (can't remember) is a really stupid and outdated "business relations" book.

90% of corporate america seems to like to thank this 90 page piece of shit for their success.

Note: the art of war is about 5 times as fucking useful as Who cut the cheese.

But never ever pull a solution out of your ass just because you believe you should always have one. People always hate that person and lose respect for them. Always.

Bang on. I hate these types of leaders/managers.

Micro managers are mostly the latter. "I can't see the whole picture so I'll just make a big deal out of what I can see in front of me right now." It's all about consistency and respect. Employees' respect must be earned. This is my mantra.

Annnnnnd this. I do not have leadership skills but abhor working under those who believe they do even though experience proves otherwise.

These are questions we'll never get the answer to. Enigmas.

Well the correct answer to my question was of course "your mom", but you guys are amateur night at the Apollo.
