Saying you can't do it all is not a failure of leadership, it is effective leadership. But despite all the books and articles that preach such reasonable humility, the culture of heroic leadership persists.

Interesting reference to Vietnam, Anne.

LBJ's "graduated response" tactic was horrifyingly ineffective, prolonging the war indefinitely, increasing the ultimate death-toll, and producing very poor results (the ROI).

The same technique was used by Laurel & Hardy - when they go 'tit-for-tat' cutting each other's ties off, working up to destroying each other's cars, then their houses - was hilarious.
