@KatherinWinter "You do know his name is Richard, right?" Argus inquired, glancing over at Griffin, "I'm mostly worried that she will be less inclined to listen to me in the future if she thinks I'm a racist asshole. I learned a LOT from my dad about how to be an effective leader, and the fastest way to destroy cohesion in a unit is lack of faith in the guy giving orders" he sighed, taking a drag off his cigarette "Sure I did a good job of it today, but I left a bad first impression on at least one of the agents under my command. That's gonna be bad news in the future if I can't redeem myself in her eyes."
The Djinn walked away from the sewer gate and closer to the transport, inspecting the configuration of the vehicle. "Anyone can be a leader if they can inspire faith in the people. Regardless of which side of history they were on, the greatest leaders from a technical standpoint had that in common. No matter how horrible the things they did, and the same is true of the people who lead revolutions for the good of all. They were able to inspire faith and trust in their people. Jury is still out on the pixie dust but I'm sure at least some of them used psychotropic drugs to get people on side." he chuckled at his own joke, "The agency is changing Griff, us senior agents are going to have to work more closely with our juniors from now on. You can be an effective leader too, just gotta learn how; and if you'd like, I can help you with that."
