Because some folks have a rifle approach and some folks have a shotgun approach.

The Whelan clan has been involved in a string of petty arguments, with the last person they went into a snit over, for more than 6 decades. He said this and she did that and they were mean to me, and it's all someone else's fault . . . . whiney, petty, short-fused and arguing about every stupid little thing on earth!

You cannot focus on the big picture, using the shotgun approach, if you are stuck in the toilet, arguing about who says what about your bike riding! "Call me and here's what I'll tell you!" Already spoiling for a fight in calls that never came....

Well, effective leaders don't 'tell', they 'sell', they lead, they make people feel good about themselves and what they are doing. They never demean them and they leave their dignity intact, with an, "I can do this" attitude. And they don't bloody say 'No" when staring a gift horse in the mouth. . . . 3 X!!!!

After decades, if the natural reaction is to pick a fight today, instead of winning the war at the right time, it is almost impossible to stay calm, focus on the goal and lead effectively. Ahhhh, the main attributes of a successful CEO. Remain calm, never blame anyone, not even yourself, focus on the long game and treat everyone well. BIEL, ActiPatch, getting this done, success, fixing the Board of Directors, fixing the stupid self-serving share structure caused by the former CEO, none of this is difficult, it just takes effective leadership. Problem is, if the leader doesn't have it, they can't fake it.
