سليمان يلتقي روحاني ولافروف يدعوه إلى مؤتمر جنيف 2 ويقدم دعما ماليا

FT. Amine Gemayel did not come from private sector. He came from 19th century feudal lebanon. If he was an employee in a firm, he would have rose maximum to middle manager.
Elias Hrawi was chosen to please Syria. Not to fix Lebanon. Again his skills would not have gotten him further than lower supervisory level.

True Fuad Chehab was good in the 50s. Today the world is much more complicated. Would Fuad Chehab have been able to make a fund raising strategy to try to get real money to lebanon?

When I am invoking a CEO, I dont mean an entrepreneur who made money from scratch like mikati or Hariri, as making huge money from scratch in lebanon oftentimes necessitates some shady dealing.- Am sure u agree.

What I am advocating as president is a corporate type who went up the ladder in a corporation, and was rewarded to become CEO by real achievements in the real world.

In my book, those who join the army are those who cant really get employed in the private sector. Promotions are based on flimsy criteria oftentime politized. Hence generals are not necessarily the best men in the army which in the first place was not filled by top notch individuals.

I know some people who are running major lebanese industries, educated in the west, who have had success in their companies and whose way of working and thinking would be perfectly suited to make them presidents.

Ziad Baroud is a lawyer, not a CEO. I am not merely talking private sectors. I am talking CEOs. Baroud is a people person. But he doesnt have the chutzpah of a leader.

Khattar - Nahas. dunno their background.

Georges Frem. YESSS- He made indevco into an international powerhouse. He could have been an option.

Regarding the seminars. I am not diminishing the training officers receive. But such training gets you to be a good officer. Not a leader. You need the training of ENA (Ecole nationale d'administration) to run a country, or of Harvard or Stanford. Getting seminars in Wespoint will not cut it.

I agree to a lot of things that Aoun do. But we both know he is not a skilled statesman. He hits right left and center. He has vision, he hates mafias, and has some good ideas. But he is clumsy politically, His diplomacy skills suck, he cant organize anything, cant organize even his own succesion. (Bassil, despite his lack of charisma, is to take credit for the gas file). Politics aside, despite his cleanliness, he would suck as a president.
