Dig, that's funny.

I too cannot comment on the hire without knowing the need and his specific ability to deliver. One thing the people on this board fail to realize is that leadership skills are very portable. If you are a great leader and have half a brain, that skill is basically portable to any leadership role.

In my years in business, I have learned tenure in a position means squat. Tenure is extremely over rated. People who are motivated, have solid leadership skills, and have half a brain will do well anywhere. I have no sense of Patton's ability because I do not know him and did not interview him or those who know him.

It sounds like many on the board have it all figure out. There a lot of people on these boards who presume their smarts have no limits. He may be an awful hire or a spectacular hire. You sleuths are not figuring it out one way or another because of the simple fact that he was a General.
