  • 100%: that’s the kind of leader that tends to get nearly unswerving (real) loyalty and admiration from their team, too.

    I’ve seen plenty of weak leadership in both private sector and in the government in my personal work life, and when you see someone that is secure enough to be humble enough to seek out and value those that are better than them at things is something to truly treasure. If they don’t have someone sabotaging them from above, that team is often a sight to behold in how much they can accomplish.

    Weak leadership usually seeks out yes-men, will hire their friends, fraternity brothers, and former co-workers even when it makes no sense - will even engage in nepotism - in order to get people that will rubber stamp their activities


  • They basically try to brainwash all potential jurors before even getting to actual jury selection. People need to know thier rights. They do not in fact have to vote guilty based on the instructions of the judge. They are supposed to make up thier own minds. It’s intended to be a check and balance on the judicial system.

    I’ll say! I came this close to being on a jury, they need 12 plus some number of alts (3?) and I think I was down to < 20 at that point. Anyway, when questioned on the “following instructions” bit I think I waffled just enough on that to get bounced.

    But yeah, fuck that: we need more jury nullification on things like this. Don’t bow to “the law” if you think it’s bullshit.
