"It's simple. Authoritarian leadership is useless where innovation and creativity are required"

That is a flat out un-truth.

Your opinion is only that, don't try to pass it off as fact.

"Your opinion is only that, don't try to pass it off as fact."

Everything I write, unless I place it in quotes, is my opinion. There are few "facts" that we'll all agree on. I base my opinion, however, on my life experience and education, along with research, when needed.

You're free to accept or reject my opinion at any time. I will continue to have one, however. You will notice that I said that _I_ would not hire such a person. It's all opinion.

You'll never find anyone who was creative at anything but autocracy and torture who worked diligently for a "much stricter than now" Church.

And as for those who were creative in repressive societies? Your Jeopardy bonus question is on who was coming up with the rules oppressing them....

And a goodly number of them were imprisoned or put to death for their creativity. When did the RCC get around to admitting that Galileo was right, again? Yes, there was creativity, but not within the auspices of the church.
