Signs of a poor manager

Some defenses of John Boehner's time as the Speaker of the House provide a poor excuse for his departure.
They say some in Congress has expectations of Boehner that were impossible to meet.
With a Democratic president and Senate maneuvering, the items on the conservative wish list weren't going to be passed this term.
That is understood.
The conservative members wanted an attempt to change.
They wanted votes to make current Democrats nervous about their fate in a post-Obama United States.
Instead, frustration built.
A good manager would have found ways to relieve a bit of the pressure.
And provide hope for the future.
Boehner didn't provide the hope, and the frustration boiled over.
When the boss blames those he works with for failure, the people know where the blame belongs.
Even if his supporters don't.
