We live in a results world so it would seem to be more appropriate to judge people by what they get done, not how smoothly they communicatee.

In the context of the small sample of people that I know both their speaking and their doing results... In that small sample, most of the GREAT speakers are HORRIBLE doers...

They talk the talk and then talk the excuses why they don't walk the walk, believing their mouths can get them out of trouble.

It's gotten to the point where if someone is a GREAT speaker that I almost automatic trust them less to actually do it, all that they're supposed to.

Note, that's just for the GREAT speakers... the good ones have been like everyone else, you got your good and bad apples... but of the great speakers, then it just seems like they choose not to everything as they try to pick and choose what they want to do...

Sorry for the rant. But I'm perfectly fine with someone that doesn't speak the best... though maybe going forward, he shouldn't give details that we be turned against him later... Such as the Head coach will be under the GM... Instead leave the answer opened ended... We'll see when we get to that point.
