the thing about Jellico, that I don’t like is that he came into an established organizational structure and started changing it.
Was he right? maybe. Sure. A lot of the changes he made, though weren’t necessarily right or wrong… they were different ways of being a leader. Should the senior officers adapted to Jellico? absolutely. But Jellico should have also adapted to the organizational structure he found himself in.
Troi’s uniform, for example… he was right she should have been in a standard uniform… but his manner about expressing that was off. Partiularly as a temporary CO coming in as a substitute for Picard, because starfleet- probably at his recommendation- determined Ryker was unqualified. (and yes. Ryker was being a salty jackass.)
His command of the D was on the order of days; and the changes he would make would take weeks to adjust to- and probably didn’t even get figured out before Jellico left.
Even if it wasn’t because he wanted to flex on the command staff, it’s still stupid and indicative that he had no understanding of the existing organizational structure on the D. And any leader who comes into an established structure and starts demanding changes without understanding that structure is a bad leader. ESPECIALLY when their leadership is at best temporary.
As far as the mission goes, yes. 100% he was right. but his leadership skills were still on the level of “Terrible retail manager”
