You questioned his leadership and authority on analytics. If he isn't the leader on that, how can you assume that he is the leader on other things that come within his job description?You just like to cherry-pick according to your likes and dislikes. You liked Ben, so all of the good moves were credited to him and his bad moves were blamed on Larry. You don't like DD so you give him no credit for advances in analytics but you blame him for every wrong personnel move.
