Comment on X, formerly Twitter: The new Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has never managed anything significant. This confuses management with leadership. As Peter Drucker taught us, management is doing things right. Leadership is doing the right things.

In any case, Hegseth managed his own actions well enough to earn two Bronze Stars. That deserves respect. You remember respect? You know, what government officials used to have before, as Hunter Biden’s laptop reveals, they sold their offices for cash. Do you think, just possibly, that we could use some of that right now?
