      They will teach Modley's speech at Annapolis for the next 100 years as a perfect textbook example of how not to lead and inspire. Every time you think it can't get worse, it gets worse. "It's not about me," he says, after complaining about all the negative publicity he's getting.

      If you feel the need to say, "This is not about me" -then it's about you.

          Haha, yes. Like when somebody says "I don't mean to be annoying, but....." then what follows is nothing but annoying.

          Exactly!! No leader would make it about himself. No leader would have attacked #CaptainCrozier. The play was to thank the captain for his service, briefly explain your decision & move on. This was a teenager having a tantrum. " You don't like me"

          Same with 'its not about the money' and 'i am not a crook.' There are oeven better ones. Any suggestions?

          Similarly, true leaders don’t have to remind anyone that they are the leader.

          Yes, it's like when someone starts their response with "...with the greatest respect...". There's *no* respect.

          Maybe you shouldn’t do worse things if you don’t want to make matters worse...

          David - I Just Can't Get Over This. WHAT KIND OF SOCIOPATH WOULD TRAVEL HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD TO TRASH A COMMANDING OFFICER HE JUST RELIEVED? What the **** is wrong with this guy?

          Nothing. He fits with the kind who wants to keep his job with a narcissistic sociopath with borderline psychopathic tendencies, no moral compass or sense of emotional empathy. Is anyone surprised he would demean military service in tribute to a man who has done so all his life?
