[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2104671, member: 4235"] An unfortunate fact about human nature is that there are certain personality types who seek out positions of authority, and not all of them are people who are cut out for such positions. Some are wise, conscientious, and intellectually honest people who are genuinely trying to make life more enjoyable for themselves and others. They typically have no problem explaining why they made a particular call, because they have nothing to hide about their motivation, and when they do make a bad call, they apologize and make it right. Others are narcissistic, bullying $hitbirds who get pleasure simply from being able to control other people because it makes them feel better about their selves (who they typically secretly have a pretty low regard for). This type of person will be insulted at any suggestion that he explain himself. This type of person never admits wrongdoing because he sees it as a sign of weakness, rather than wisdom (it has to do with the secretly low self esteem thing). Rather than admit to a bad call, this type of person will ignore it if he thinks he can get away with it, or if he can't, will either come up with a strained justification for it, or try to deflect by pointing out someone else's alleged wrongdoing. People of this sort are good at kissing ass and looking good to those in authority over them, so they are hard for their superiors to root out. Nevertheless, it is vital to good leadership to root these personality types out. It is a tough job, but nobody ever said leadership was supposed to be easy. [/QUOTE]
