In the military, we were trained that there are three types of decision makers (Fort Leavenworth, 1985):
You begin your decision brief. Before you get 20 seconds into the alternatives, the GUNSLINGER whips out his six gun and tells you his decision.
You end your decision brief. The INDECISIVE commander gives you a follow-on homework assignment. He won’t make a decision next time either.
You give your decision brief. You offer your advice as to your preferred alternative. The Commander asks you some questions. He is DECISIVE.
Then there is Barack Obama. Who knows what he is thinking? He has incompetent advisors and makes stupid decisions.
