Strong leaders are willing to tell people things they don't want to hear.
Right, we get it. But if they can't manage to do that without being condescending to their customers (and like this guy, generally sounding like a bit of an asshole) -- they shouldn't be in charge of anything.
- dcow 4y agoEasy to say, for sure.
- akhmatova 4y agoIt's also pretty easy to do, actually. The not being an asshole part, anyways.
- dcow 4y agoIs the dude an asshole? I don't know anything about him other than this discussion here. I'm certain most people have said something to the effect of "those people are fucking clueless" in their lives. Does that make them assholes?
- akhmatova 4y agoDoes that make them assholes? No -- in this guy's case it's the other things he's saying, and the broader context which brings him into that territory.
- smaryjerry 4y agoWe’re talking about gaming here and the fact someone said “fucking idiot.” You’ve just used asshole is your response, so collectively we should get off our high horses, and recognize that in the real world people swear constantly. It’s not even like this was laser focused at one specific person, in my opinion this title is more evil and misleading than what he said.
- akhmatova 4y agoWe haven't been talking about the mere fact of someone saying that -- but rather the context in which it was said, and to whom it was addressed. These being very, very different things.
