They're telling the captain to get back to his ship.
Leadership expert and former apprentice judge -- -- says that seen as on land in politics as in business.
A good leader is crucial when we don't know everything -- -- -- down but it would appear that this captain was not that.
Well it doesn't look good does -- I don't think everything that we've ever learned in that leadership -- -- one I think you can basically just taken throughout the window in the sky.
But what is the first.
Yet to do let's say you are in the middle of a disaster everything is going around we do know from the -- it's exactly did he decided -- gotten off to should be decided to doubt but does it.
-- but it will then there are bigger licensee what aren't.
The test of a real leader is somebody who can react in a kind of crises and that not only as of September -- he -- The -- -- that's crises and you take a leader -- there's accountability.

That's actually very.
Powerful thought I mean if that's what comes to start.
But you know with CEOs and those in leadership positions when everything it's -- -- I think -- Johnson & Johnson the early eighties with the Tylenol scandal.
That CEO at the time could have just said well this was a guy was -- Tylenol capsules I had nothing to do with that.
I can absolve myself but that it's not my -- some not gotta stand on these capsules.

He those capsules off the market replace them with debt what's in the end -- -- all then.
Got a bigger share of the pain reliever market and -- before but those type are few and far between aren't that.
He did the right thing that's called accountability.
And he's taking care of his business.
There's something that leaders make best leaders make mistakes clearly he made a mistake and he went off track.
He could have at least try to fix the situation at hand.
You know I'm not saying he could have been a hero but -- -- you know us if he stayed on course -- -- was supposed to do.
And got everybody evacuated and there's a good possibility perhaps he could -- but now -- is looking at manslaughter.
-- -- -- And the reason it's amazing as a lot more frantic when he Aronson a native of -- and if it.
