Hi Alex,

Of course the mutineers went on to an isolated and harsh destiny including kidnapping tahitian women, slavery of islanders, and eventually death by fueding amongst themselves.

And Bligh went on to a promotion and another mutineer. It appears Bligh’s main problem was his inablity to ben he rules to allow exploitation and corruption under his command.

His ancestor, Anna, is now the political leader of Queensland.

These are good analogies. I, too, worked for such a person.
No one ever wanted to take the initiative on his behalf. Talk about destroying a team!

All managers should be required to read this book. Afterwards, if they see nothing wrong with Captain Bligh’s behavior, they should be demoted!

Cheers,

Mitch

As a writer, I think Captain Bligh is awesome; I’d like more characters like that in my books. As a software developer, I think you’ve described most of the dot com era. As a martial arts teacher, I think this article captures some astute parallels to the sorts of philosophy and character we strive to instill in students.

Great work!

@Sue – Once we recognize these characters for what they are, we naturally become empowered. Good that this is “a previous boss”! Thanks for your comment. P.S. Your gravatar image is beautiful.

@Cindy – Very kind to include me in your Blog Carnival! I’m still learning about these – may follow your lead and begin one in the future.

With kind regards,
Alec

I never made the connection between a previous boss of mine and Captain Bligh. But I think you just described him to a "T."

Great post.
