It’s called being a leader. That’s what leaders do.
I disagree. It is massive overkill for a 3-star general to get involved at this stage. Investigate and determine the facts first.
Yes, but leaders don’t over-react as the superintendent did. . .all before an investigation was done and there is a chance, a good chance, that it is a hoax.
A real leader does not jump in and rant at subordinates until he has the fact.
