Re: Snyders SIx Flags "sinking fast"
He is a savvy marketer and a successful businessman. Neither of those things have anything to do with his ability to run a pro football franchise correctly, unfortunately. Even if his heart is in the right place, like many successful business types, you rarely succeed in sports by constantly meddling from the top.
I see this kind of thing time and time again in my industry, where top execs from other businesses come in to run companies in industries they really don't understand. Ultimately the ones who succeed are those who hire the smartest people they can find and then get out of their way and let them do their jobs.
Meddling is a personality defect, not a leadership skill.
