take me to your leader

[sergebroom]

Today, I told my team lead that contractors and their mistakes were making it impossible for me to do my job. The exchange that followed boiled down to his suggestion that I should show leadership. He also said the following:

If i have to make my life better, i have to take the all the neccessary steps in my life and i should not expect others to make my life better. So instead of looking outward, look inward and see what is the root cause of the problem.

So basically I'm supposed to do his job, and it's all my fault if the people under him aren't doing their job properly.

I think I'll do just that. The thing though is what kind of leadership I should show. Should my model be James Tiberius Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, or Kathryn Janeway?

Picard, definitely. Kirk's ways with women would get you in trouble, and Janeway got lost in another galaxy all together. Picard was the Man.

Plus, you get plenty of hot tea.

On the other hand, Jean-Luc wiped out most of Starfleet when he was a Borg. On the other other hand, he has that cultured accent.

Kirk: shoot to kill.

Set phaser on 'spank'...

Sisko.

"You HIT me! Picard never hit me!"
"I'm not Picard."

On the other hand, do I want to be a Messiah?

I'd go for a different series. Delenn had some cool toys and the entire Mnbari fleet to back her up.

And there IS Sinclair.

Didn't you want to get a job somewhere else?

I am waiting to see what my yearly review will be like.
Fingers are firmly crossed.

Malcolm Reynolds. The man of honor in a den of thieves.

I'm blushing.
