“You’re doing a heck of a job, Brownie...” This guy isn’t going to be treating patients, his role is project management and his job is to prioritize and expedite.
The job of an Captain isn’t to physically steer the ship either but more than a couple ordered them into reefs and rocks.
More than one CEO tanked his company by handing out asinine instructions to his workers to carry out.
Probably best to have a competent man in charge with experience in his given endeavor than not IMO.
