A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

He was great at leading them to lose. I am only defining leadership in the sense of "leading people." He was great at that. Just not at tactics or strategy or sane ideas.

Okay, so to be clear, your critera for "great" leadership doesn't include any sort of decision-making skills nor effective delegation when said leader is out of their depth?

If I worked at a company that had leaders making a long series of bad calls at a tactical and/or strategic level, for instance, I shouldn't call that "bad leadership"?

You're overanalyzing a comment intended to be humorous, dude.
