Sounds like this guy doesn’t want the weight of too much responsibility on his shoulders. Let’s make the hard decisions by committee. Then you can’t blame me if no action is taken and something bad happens.
Thats what it sounds like to me.
If he hasnt the balls to accept the responsibility of the job he should have refused the job.
Sounds like abdication of one of his primary responsibilities. The kitchen must be too hot for him. What will he give up next?
Bingo. Sounds like the UK has a new executive that doesn't want to be an executive.
Maybe he can take the extra time he will have when not making decisions to study a few past executives. The first should be Harry Truman. "The Buck Stops Here" isn't just a slogan. It is a statement of the character required to be a leader. At some point somebody has to take responsibility and make those decisions.
Bombs are going off, terrorists are running rampant in the streets and Britain just elected a guy that won't even appoint a bishop. Nice.
