Whoa, how did I miss this?
We've had a leader who continues to lead despite being wrong. What we need is a man or woman who can admit to mistakes and try to correct them. That, above all things, is the most important trait of a leader: maturity and humility to correct their mistakes. I consider this trait the cornerstone to my own leadership style.

Its easy to sit here and think how much better they should have been, but its more akin to the guy who thinks the head coach is an idiot. We don't know all the facts, all the issues, all the handling that was done.
Its pretty easy to be arrogant when you are not the one making the decisions.

I'm not talking about intelligence in a vaccum. Let my put it in simpler terms. Let's say there are three candidates. A has leadership experience, a strong platform, but has an IQ that barely breaks 110. B. has leadership experience, a strong platform, but has an IQ that barely breaks 120. C. has leadership, experience, a strong platform, and is absolutely brilliant. Easily a 160 IQ. Nobel Prize in economics.
Who do you vote for?
