Leadership is a trait that rarely exists within the modern workplace. CASA is a typical example, but with the added power of dragging its subjects - the aviation industry, in whichever direction it decides to go (which is usually the wrong one!!).
Today's "leaders" are much more about self interest & climbing the ladder than motivating people to follow their direction & that is evident across the board - politics, government departments (like CASA) & business in general. My current workplace is no different, but then again whatever goes on in my workplace doesn't have a flow on effect on the aviation industry...
