Pierce named VP for Advancement?!
Permalink Closed


Insane.  What dirt does he have on someone?  If qualifications include taking credit for the success and hard work of others and wasting money, then I guess he is perfect for the job.

Well Scout, aside from the gratuitous insults, I'm only seeing two points in your post: (1) taking credit for the success and hard work of others, and (2) wasting money. The second doesn't matter much to me, probably because I have certainly wasted plenty myself over the years. (Wish I had half the cash back that I have spent on my boat.  But I digress.)  So how exactly did Pierce take credit for the success and hard work of others?  Where I work, that is often called "leadership," and they consider it an accomplishment.

I am great at insults.

I realize now that I am complaining to the same regime as Bob Pierce.

At any rate, I researched the word leadership and did not find anywhere that leadership means taking credit for the work of others.  If anything, leadership means directing others to to the best job that they can, facilitating their talents and making sure that they succeed.  If you do that, you don't have to take credit for others, their work will be a reflection of your leadership.

Pierce tells someone to do something and when it is done he takes the credit without a nod to his staff or doing anything himself.  If I were still a grad student, they would call this plagiarism.

As as student I saw this and have some friends that work for him who live it.

Oh, and wasting your money and an institutions money are two different things.
