News Article: Was Chevy close to blowing it up?

[Mortimer Snerd]

I look at the a Scouting GM relationship as pretty collaborative. keep in mind there is a layer between Chevy and the scouts with the director of Pro Scouting and director of amature Scouting. Chevy is ultimately responsible for the vision and putting the key people in place to get results.. Director of pro and amature are most likely responsible for individual Scouts work product quality.

Unless anyone of us is a fly on the wall its tough to tell how involved Chevy is with this group in the field and in the boardroom. Different managers have really different styles as far as level of hands on involvement goes?

Agree. The thing is Chevy could accept every draft recommendation from the head scout 100% and I will still credit or blame Chevy for the result. It was his decision to accept that recommendation. The head scout is his hire. Chevy is in the position of being responsible for the draft. Responsible means he gets the credit or blame according to the results.
