At the risk of sounding like a grumpy old man (it's early and I haven't had the best night's sleep), we don't appear to be in the business of promoting leaders nowadays. It seems to me that we promote administrators. I realise there are exceptions to this rather sweeping statement and I would just love to be proven wrong. However, I think the system has got it all wrong at the moment and I, for one, would rather be commanded by a leader that I thought was a bit of a knob than an admin guru that was my best mate.
