    It’s not a team, it’s a government.

    If your boss told you to do something completely legal (and ethical), and you just went “Mmmm no” you’d find yourself looking for a new job after not too long.

    Stop defending this bad behaviour.


    And clearly I used the word subordinate because it flowed well with insubordinate.

    If the only counter you have is to critic some stylisation of wording, you’ve got no legitimate reason.

      The didn’t say no. They have yet to respond, and the president cannot assign a due date. I’m in full support of decriminalization, let alone descheduling. I’m only speaking to an understanding of the situation, not arguing my opinion of marijuana reform.

      The President is a leader of the most important team in the nation. We are in stark disagreement if you believe otherwise. If you want to criticize actions, judge the DEA for stalling, or Congress for linking the DEA’s budget to their apprehension records. The President cannot control those things without wrongful termination or an irresponsible Executive Order.

      The minute you terminate someone who disagrees with you, you admit to being unable to lead that individual. It erodes at your respect with other team members, and inhibits your growth as a leader.

        Failure to act is as much a “no” as them putting it in words.

        The minute you terminate someone you can’t control, you admit to being unable to lead that individual. It erodes at your respect with other team members, and inhibits your growth as a leader. It’s simply poor leadership.

        That is utter bullshit. The minute you don’t remove a person who’s a problem you show what a poor leader you are.

        If you just allow the shit to fester because “I can change him” you’re actively making it worse for everyone else.

          I think we’re having two different conversations. I’m taking about addressing a team member that doesn’t agree with your direction. You’re talking about a long-term problem performer that has a proven negative impact on the rest of the team. One of those analogies is accurate in representing the DEA’s behavior, and the other warrants dismissal.

            We are.

            I’m talking about actually using your powers to help people by pushing for drug reform that’s been desperately needed for almost a century now.

            And you’re talking about irrelevant team leadership nonsense.
