I disagree. We tried your method by appointing Bard as head of the Dev team and it was a complete disaster. Not only did he lack the ability to code (which he wasn't even responsible for) he also lacked the ability to organize a team and quite frankly, doesn't know the game that well.
QUOTE I will use myself as an example. I am in the US Navy, I run a division of 26 people and I am not qualified to do what 90% of them do. I do this though, I manage my people. I make sure the right people for the hands on work is there when they need to be. I make sure the work is being done. If it is not it is my job the kick them in the butt and make them. If still not to get them out of the seat and someone else who can do the job in there.[/quote]
You cannot kick any volunteer in the butt around here or you'll lose that help. Volunteers are very different from enlisted personnel. I would think someone in "Management" would be able to see that.
With your example, we could train commanders without them ever having flown a ship. Sorry, that just won't work...and, unlike the military, we don't have a command structure that allows command to be broken up and delegated to many individuals who know just enough about each others responsibilities to form a link from the lowest to the highest position (chain of command). Yeah the head of the military might not know how to dig a trench and yet can still manage to get a trench dug, but again, this is a volunteer organization and we simply don't have enough volunteers willing to be "kicked in the butt".
PKK said that "cashto tried to reestablish ACS in March, without getting support any useful feedback". So if he tried and failed is he capable of doing what you're suggesting he do?... if so, then what's the hold up?
ACS should be run by those who know command intimately. Any ACS "Leader" will likely be doing 50% of the training and 1% leading, and the other 49% of their time will be wasted here in a forum circle jerk.
