The Tebow Test
Yesterday, Tim Tebow led the Denver Broncos to their 7th
improbable win in 8 games as their starting quarterback. During the post-game analysis I heard
Jimmy Johnson, ex-coach, superbowl winner, and longtime football analyst opine
that he’d never seen a quarterback get more out of his teammates and inspire
them to play-up than Tim Tebow. I
was reminded of Harry Potter, the average wizard who manages to pull off
amazing feats against all odds by having a loyal group of friends without whom
he would not be nearly as magical.
I bring this up not to talk about football but rather as an
allegory for choosing a President.
Being a chief executive is never a solitary endeavor despite what we’ve
heard. Good executives
are team leaders. Sure, “the buck stops here” and “it’s lonely at the top”, but
look at any effective leader and you will find a team inspired by his/her
example. The questions for voters
are these: Are ideology and oratory everything? What about effective leadership? Who is likely to inspire by example? Who is capable of turning adversaries
into allies?
Remember, all administrations are buffeted by events. You don’t always get to plan on what
challenges you face. Given that,
who will build a team and inspire them to play-up when the game is on the
line? Who has done that in the
past? Who has maintained good
relations with their former teammates?
All questions worth asking before pulling a lever.
