[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 75956907, member: 313046"] In the case of leadership, "merit" would, I think, include the ability to navigate potentially sensitive political, cultural, and interpersonal dynamics of one's subordinates and the institution at large. Like, even though I agree with the gist of the BLM platform, I'm not so clueless as to think that writing a treatise espousing the movement's most extreme arguments wouldn't kick up a partisan political storm. If my job is to be a leader to a wide range of people, then my job includes knowing how be thoughtful and act in public in a manner that treats them and their concerns with a degree of deference and respect. And even absent the additional requirements of leadership positions, any job I've ever had has prohibited me from arguing against company policy in the press. Even if you give this guy the benefit of the doubt and treat him as entirely well-meaning and sincere, addressing a concern that he sees as totally legitimate - if he can't see that what he wrote is both over the top and likely to offend a considerable number of people under his command, then he's pretty thick and probably ought not be in command. Alternately, he could know very well what he's doing and be using this controversy as a way of ginning up book sales. [/QUOTE]
