Oh god, no one should ever put me in charge of anything (and not just for Groucho Marx reasons).
Leadership is a skill, and it's not one that's easily learned. Everyone's job is hard. Honestly, my main complaint with a lot of folk in leadership roles (not just at Mozilla, mind you, but other companies and organizations) is that far too many of them do not want to learn from the company's history. Maybe they feel they might be influence by older, bad ideas. Maybe they feel that "a fresh start" is what's needed. Maybe, they realize they're just temporary and they want to make as big an impact as they can in the limited time they have. Maybe they're just that busy.
As someone who studies history, though, it makes me sad, because I keep seeing the same patterns.
So, yeah, please do not put me in charge of anything. I don't have the managerial skills for it. I am, however, willing to be the five-year-old advisor.
