Leadership often fails not because the message is wrong, but because the method is. Governor Jeff Landry is right to question the excess and poor stewardship behind massive college coaching buyouts, especially when academic priorities struggle for funding. But by bypassing institutional leadership and intervening publicly, he undercuts governance, autonomy, and long-term credibility. The takeaway is clear: being right isn’t enough — effective leadership requires discipline in tone, timing, and process.
