Let's drop the ranks for a moment. I don't like you. I believe you're arrogant, insubordinate, willful, and I don't think you're a particularly good First Officer. But you are also the best pilot on the ship.
Well, now that the ranks are dropped, Captain...I don't like you, either. You ARE arrogant, and closed-minded. You need to control everyone and everything. You don't provide an atmosphere of trust, and you don't inspire these people to go out of their way for you. You've got everyone wound up so tight, there's no joy in anything. I don't think you're a particularly good Captain.
