Its about having a president who can balance the good of the club against their own ego.
To become a club president you have to have a pretty good regard of yourself, but its about balancing that with the best outcomes of the club. As both a premier and now club pres Kennett has demonstrated he cant balance his ego, its his way or the highway even when he is demonstrably wrong. The other issue and I have seen this in corporate life is people staying in high level jobs for so long they forget the line of themselves as an individual and the organisation they run so in their mind it becomes their own little fiefdom and they act like a feudal overlord. Some coaches like Sheedy and Malthouse were examples of the stay too long as well as a number of presidents like Eddie and Kochie.
