... with your description of BG, I might recount the story of Jefferson Airplane looking for a manager, Chet got up late in the morning and phoned them only to find Graham had called first thing and JA were so impressed someone got up to sort things out that they signed.
Possibly apochryphal, perhaps an urban legend, but although Helms took things to a certain point, in my opinion, it takes a certain kind of person to operate at a higher(power) level.
To be successful in any business you have (on occassions) to be decisive and to follow through and get on with it for better or worse.
Its not so much that nice guys finish last as much as its that they sit around trying to think of more reasons why they should be in the race at all.
