			<title>Voter's Failure</title>
			<link>http://www.oregonbusiness.com/contributed-blogs/6277-lariviere-firing-is-pernsteiners-failed-leadership?device=xhtml#comment-2086</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This all stems from people in the NW part of Oregon electing Kitzhaber AGAIN after he failed miserabley the first 8 years as Gov. All you people who voted for him are now griping about him and the firing of Lariviere. Blame yourselves for electing Kitzhaber AGAIN! Rember this from the above article. "Top leaders deliver results. Bad leaders deliver excuses. Pernsteiner needs to decide which he is." But, this should include Kitzhaber. They both are failed leaders. That is if you can even consider either of them leaders.]]></description>

			<title>This is more than optimistic</title>

			<description><![CDATA[It assumes that Kitzhaber is not behind this firing, but there is some evidence that he is. His letter was openly hostile toward Lariviere and the UO and its faculty. The Board itself mentioned that Kitzhaber was upset because he saw Lariviere's activism for the UO as a threat to his legislative plans. This was probably the cause of the Board's directive to Lariviere: stop speaking about legislation. Stop speaking to legislators. That all comes from Kitzhaber. Lariviere was being asked not to do his job as President of UO. If he could not speak about the impact of legislation on the UO, he would be deprived of a critical tool. He was essentially being asked to halt the rise of the UO for the sake of Kitzhaber's plans. If he had done this, he would have been betraying the University he was asked to lead. He decided, honorably, to choose a nobler kind of leadership. This led to an irreparable break with Pernsteiner, who is a manager and not a leader, and with the Board, a group of political appointees carrying out the will of the Governor. The idea that Kitzhaber could be part of the solution seems more than optimistic. Perhaps, though, who knows? Stranger things have happened.]]></description>

			<title>Great Article</title>

			<description><![CDATA[I do not have a knowledgeable opinion of the U of O issue, but I sure agree with the described principles of leadership. “Top leaders deliver results. Bad leaders deliver excuses” is right on the mark. Many leaders use the blame game to justify their leadership failures. Private Industry does not tolerate (generally) failed leadership very long. Why do we tolerate it longer with the political class?]]></description>
