di,
Thanks for you ANECDOTE. This anecdote is well worth noting, and probably an important point for us all to keep in mind.
Both directly and indirectly, over the years, I have run across characters within my communities and organizations, who at first outward appearance portrayed a veneer of skill, but later it was found that they were an incredibly destructive element…extremely destructive. “Sabotage” is a good word. I’ve seen the devastation some of these characters can do to a good group of people.
Now, I often cock an eye when someone over-sells their skill sets while demanding high sums of money, especially those touting administrative skills.
