In what I do (actually everything in my worklife), and what Hood does (actually everything in Hood's worklife), there are technical parameters that must be dealt with to get things done, while staying out of trouble.
In my governing work-life, since coming back on the board of county commissioners, is trying to get things done as a Real Republican, while in the minority serving against 5 Democrats from 2018 to 2022, and now against 4 Democrats since 2022 until now. Alternatively, the constant parameter that Beaufort County GOP RINOs and RINO Whisperers advocate is to provide great advantage and succour for the Democratic RINOs serving the Center-Left here in Beaufort County.
For the Democratic Socialists, they have stopped running candidates because the local GOP does that for them; a salient fact that the Beaufort County GOP refuses to recognize.

Steve: You are right about spreading the search parameters regarding a manager. If I am ever in a situation where I am partly (as a minority member) in control of hiring a manager, I will push for this dual approach to finding that good manager.
