This is an important and not very often mentioned point: who the leader chooses as his/her worker bees is really important. I will never forget when I was complaining about the problems I was having with an elected official from my state because of some of his real shortcomings. My brother, who had done work with elected officials from his state, asked me about my interactions with the people who ran his department and I had to say that they were all efficient and helpful. He said that who a person hired to carry out his work was an important thing to consider when evaluating a leader.
