There's not much you can Dunbar unless you are above him in the Chain-of-Command. About all you can do is wait foerthe next Change of Command ceremony and personally perform to your highest potential.

I hope some who think "being one of the boys" is leadership heed. Accomplishment of the mission is always first -- above public approval.

There are principles of leadership and management but there are as many styles as there are people. What works for me may not work for someone else. At one time I had trained all active Pizza Hut Managers from Ashboro to South Port, NC. I expected the most of them and got it. My style of management was "the Golden Rule" plus recognizing that every person on this planet is different. The principle of "one size fits all" as far as management is a crock. You have to know each individual under your care and determine what key will trigger the proper response. My two sons are a good example. One will perform with a pat on the back and the other needs a kick to the back side!!

Soapdish charge under the driver's seat?

Not that bad? Private detective with compromising photos?

That reminds me of a story. Maybe some of you have heard of CSM Pioletti of the 10th. To put it mildly he was so straight laced it is said he didn't even own and civilian cloths. One day some guys got together and submitted him for subscriptions to a bunch of "skin" mags and lonely hearts clubs. There weren't computers in those days and all came to his mail box.

It didn't get him relieved but nearly got him divorced. :D

Leaders don't need to be liked, they need to be respected. All he is accomplishing is making sure that everyone will hate him in the end. Above and below him.
