My philosophy at work toward my leadership has always been "You're paying me to be right, not to agree with you."

It's just an application of the golden rule, in my case. I want to work with smart people who are confident enough to disagree with me.

Still, it's a much easier to position to take when your job isn't the release of nuclear weapons. Bravo to Mr. Petrov and his substantial cohones.

I think politicians think in priorities and not right or wrong.

Spasibo tovarisch!
