ability is not clear. Number of publications? Number of conference
presentations? Teaching evaluations? Networking between colleagures counts
toward promotion as well. Also, there may be some things which you don't
see.

Thank you so much for your sharing!
I am just writing the answer. And I am going to explain this case in term of
"benefits; direct costs; opportunity cost" . Your idea of number of
publications amd conference presentations are good points for me.

there is also another angle: sometimes a less capable candidate may be
elected a leader as a compromise among various parties. had they elected a
dominant and capable leader, it would not be as easy to pass the own agendas
of the various conflicting parties.
as a result, electing a less capable leader maximizes the support of all the
stakeholders. |
