You might ask a competent guy what a good set up is, but that's not the same as managing the team. Besides, you can look at the strats yourself and figure something out.
Brilliance isn't a consistent trait, it's nice when it happens. I'll explain it like this: generally speaking, if your within IQ shot and you show me how you see things then I'll be able to see things like you.

Protectors virtue was a management ethic. It's a willingness that's a great challenge for me. I can barely stand telling people what to do.

I like to learn in confrontation because the result is where I begin to reverse engineer. - but yeah, protector.
