In my Oppinion Cattegrin was in the right, its not about his ego - its about keeping clarity on comms, and keeping things in check. Its no good letting a little emo f>ag whine in corp chat and comms left right and center because he lost a ship on an op once.. its not productive to the rest of the people actually still alive, and nothing can be done aobut it so why moan?
agreed, as a leader figure in the corp you should never ever whine in sight of the lower ranks, that is kept for the guys above you only, but imo Cattegirn went about it totally wrong. First he "promotes" the guy then tells him he is going to get demoted again if he doesnt change, why promote him in the first place if you don't have any confidence in the guy?? Bad call.

Cattegrin kept his cool pretty much all the way through those logs which Is what a leader should do, his corp members need to know that he's incharge -even more so in this case considering he appears to be one of the only FCs in the corp. If you dont take his advice and grow some you will end up getting scammed/griefed left right and center in eve, as this is the true nature of the game.
A leader needs to ascert himself and gain the respect of his/her inferiors. That can be done in many ways and his approach isn't working. My guess is he would fit in well in an all out pvp experienced corp, but not among a group of new players that haven't got the slightest idea how to fit a ship for pvp let alone the skills.
Giving out guidelines for what you can do is awesome, threatning people with bans and kick and calling them morons that are playing the wrong game isn't the way forward though, and the CEO threatning with leaving the corp altogether because his "minions" aren't following his commands the way HE wants them too displays a poor lack of communication and leadership in general.
Ex. You just started working at the local newspaper as a cleaner. You get a jobdescription handed to you and you read it through then go looking for your tools. On the way to the tools the head honcho finds you and starts yelling at you because you havent cleaned his office yet, when you try to explain the situation to him (you just started there and haven't even found the broom closet yet) he goes on a hizzy fit and yells out "SCREW THIS IM QUITTING. YOU GUYS ARE ALL MORONS!".
Ever seen that happen in rl? Well ok it does happen....
