Jellico and Riker didn't get along. Who's fault was that? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Jellico's reputation for being an ass goes beyond the hull of the Enterprise, hence Mariner's comment about being assigned a "Jellico-type" captain. But every time I watch "Chain of Command," sometimes it's hard to tell of Geordi, Riker and Troi aren't being a bunch of unprofessional softies.

Is Jellico too strict? Is Riker too casual? Is there room for both styles in Starfleet?

I mean, I wouldn't even include "effective at enforcing dress code" on the list of "signs of an effective captain".

I would say that an effective captain gets those under his command in shape. And part of being in shape is respect for the uniform.

But true, the reason why he's the best captain is that he pretty much single-handedly defeated the Cardassian Empire.
