Pros

A loud voice doesn’t make you smart

Cons

Hard to say, let’s start with: Incompetent management focused on who yells loudest Loyalty based on giving advice on how your life is much better having them around Petty stupid ideals that mean nothing Useless political games (having a Degree in the WRONG role hired for) Bullying others to show that you can do a role based on a demoted title Poor self confidence as a leader, picking on others to show off is a sign of bullying and harassment, not strong leadership Divide and conquer is a poor way to show leadership Blaming the previous team to hide incompetence shows stupidity Claiming that true leaders with real experience as “Googling answers” shows you can’t understand true experience (FYI, you did the same and left it on screen when sharing your screen! Pathetic) Isolationist behaviour makes people question you behind your back, if they haven’t done it in front of your face.
