LOL, Such great picks he having to replace them several times over within 6 months.
Absolutely. That's what a good manager does. He fires and hires until he finds the right fit for the job.
Every administration has its shake ups. Even the Sainted Ronald Reagan's administration suffered through leaks and personnel changes.
A snippet on Don Regan, Ronald Reagan's treasury secretary and later his chief of staff, conducting a staff meeting in 1986:
Promptly at 8 A.M., Regan walks out of the office for his daily meeting in the Roosevelt Room, where more than a dozen White House senior staff members are seated at a rectangular table, white pads and pens before them. ''I'd say 'good morning,' but that's just a phrase,'' he says. Quickly, he raises the issue of the leaked figures. ''Anybody who wants to leak confidential information can resign,'' he says coldly. ''If any of you think you know better than the President about what ought to be communicated you don't belong here.''
Ironically, Donald Regan was himself forced to resign as chief of staff.
When staff is not performing, the boss is justified in finding a replacement sooner rather than later. There's no room for loyalty for a failing worker.
