The success in my professional life, was in a large part based on finding as many subordinates smarter than myself and then encouraging (and rewarding) them to make a case...that might be contrary to my initial viewpoint.
When responsible for hundreds of subordinates, the safety of customers and around $100M yearly of expense & capital budgets...facts/integrity/honesty/ethics mattered.
It also has never even occurred to me to demand absolute fealty, or to refuse (at every level) to ever admit making a mistake...or the chance of being seen as less than perfect. 
That would take such a massive insecurity, that for me personally...is impossible to even fathom. 
History is replete with examples of what happens when surrounding oneself with only "yes people" and then expending an enormous amount of effort trying to discredit those who actually are interested in/discover facts and the truth...that might be embarrassing or are contrary to the obedient, fanatical herd.
Just think of what could be accomplished, if even half of the effort now currently spent constantly trying to avoid personal responsibility and always looking to blame others...and put it towards solving the ever-increasing gaping maw between the have's and have nots.  |
What's all that have to do with the fact that Chris Cuomo, on a day he still had symptoms, violated CDC guidelines by driving 30 miles with two women and three kids to visit a lot he owns?
As far as I know, CNN did not report this story, but they did stage Chris emerging from quarantine on live tv a few days later.
