Not hardly. Either "poor" or "weak" can be used to describe an ineffective leader. One of the keys to being an effective subordinate leader is to have an effective leader over you. The affects of not having an effective leader at the top can be minimalized if that person is a good [or strong] manager.

While there is some overlap, the distinction between leadership and management has been established since Genghis Khan first wrote about it during his campaigns in the 13th century. The terms would only seem mixed to someone untrained in this area and that's why common core leadership training exists.

Reince Priebus and Jeb Bush


Exclusive: GOP campaigns plot revolt against RNC
Politico - Alex Isenstadt - 10/29/15

Republican presidential campaigns are planning to gather in Washington, D.C.,
on Sunday evening to plot how to alter their party’s messy debate process —
and how to remove power from the hands of the Republican National Committee.

Not invited to the meeting: Anyone from the RNC,
which many candidates have openly criticized in the hours
since Wednesday’s CNBC debate in Boulder, Colorado
— a chaotic, disorganized affair that was widely panned by political observers.

All the money in the world may not save Jeb Bush's campaign

LA Times - David Lauter, Seema Mehta and Noah Bierman - 10/29/15

The one-time front-runner in the Republican race,
Bush has suffered a steady eclipse for months, first at the hands of Donald Trump
and more recently from his fellow Floridian and one-time protege, Sen. Marco Rubio.

As for the Democrats, two debaters had such poor (silly) performances they have left the race.
One seems to think he can get more speaking minutes by becoming a 3rd-party candidate.
The other will try a another approach to converting the US over to the metric system.



Lincoln Chafee drops out of Democratic primary race
CNN - Dan Merica and Tom LoBianco - 10/23/15

(CNN)Former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee ended his long-shot bid
for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination, he announced Friday.
"As you know, I have been campaigning on a platform of Prosperity Through Peace,"
Chafee said at the DNC's annual Women's Leadership Forum in Washington.

Chafee spent most of his life as a Republican.
He was nominated to his late father's Senate seat in 1999 and then
was elected as a Republican in 2000.
He served only one term, losing to Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse in 2006,
but then successfully ran for governor of Rhode Island as an independent.

Jim Webb exits the Democratic presidential race, weighs run as independent
LA Times - Kurtis Lee - 10/20/15

Former Sen. Jim Webb’s long-shot quest for the Democratic presidential nomination ended Tuesday
much the same way it began: on a defiantly — some might say unreasonably — optimistic note.
Webb, who served as secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration
before representing Virginia in the Senate for one term,
said that over the next several weeks, he would speak with leaders from both parties
and weigh a run as an independent.

His later comment probably did not help his image with the powers-that-be in the Democratic Party.

I fully accept that my views on many issues are not compatible
with the power structure and the nominating base of the Democratic party
