Excellent leadership comes from putting people in positions to succeed.  This includes making sure that the individual has the knowledge, skills and abilities to succeed.  Would you have a doctor who has not performed brain surgery to conduct brain surgery on you?  How could the president put someone in the role of “Ebola Czar” without medical knowledge and understanding of diseases.  How do you feel about individuals who lead a major initiative without pertinent knowledge of the issue?  Does this breed confidence?

Let us know what you think.
