About: reduce privileges and high salaries in the public service
We are going to take away all the government's perks, the politicians' huge pay, the judges' huge pay, useless positions — we're going to cut them.
Why it was classified this way · 92% confidence Explicitly says 'vamos cortar' mamatas, judges' salaries and useless positions.

My friends, we're in Pouso Alegre, I'm with our councilman Russo, and we came to visit the Aetra factory, one of the largest suppliers of auto parts, of automotive components, correct me if I'm talking nonsense, in Brazil.
Renan Santos
0:25
It even supplied and sponsored a Formula 1 team.
Renan Santos
0:30
They sponsored Force India, didn't they?
Desconhecido
0:32
Am I talking nonsense.
Desconhecido
0:33
No, I think that was it.
Renan Santos
0:34
Early 2010s, I followed it... I was in the sector, I swear.
Renan Santos

About: grant tax incentives and local content policies for industry
Anyway, it'll be a pleasure to follow along and show you what a functioning factory in Brazil is like and the challenges of this sector that in Brazil is so sabotaged.
Why it was classified this way · 70% confidence Claims the sector is being 'sabotado' by Brazil without proposing a concrete measure in this statement.
Renan Santos
0:45
Let's go!
Desconhecido
0:52
One of the big differentiators we have here are the parts we call 'skin parts.'
Desconhecido
0:58
What is a 'skin part'?
Desconhecido
0:59
They are the visible parts.
Desconhecido
1:01
In other words, it's part of the car, but it's not the skeleton or body structure of the car; it's what is visible on the car.
Desconhecido
1:09
So, we have both sides, like hoods, and other large parts of important manufacturing, because it's visual, right?
Desconhecido
1:19
We call that A classification.
Desconhecido
1:22
Which is what needs finishing, it has another level of...
Desconhecido
1:25
Another level of quality.
Desconhecido
1:27
One of the big differentiators we have today within the Aetra group is the quality practice and philosophy we have inside the group.
Desconhecido
1:35
We're going to go through two stamping shops here.
Desconhecido
1:38
One that we call the light stamping shop; those are the smaller parts.
Desconhecido
1:42
Then a stamping shop that we call the heavy stamping shop.
Desconhecido
1:46
Those are the larger parts, parts with a slightly greater aesthetic delicacy.
Renan Santos
1:51
With a piece like this you take a sheet of metal, put it there and bam.
Desconhecido
1:55
We're going to see that process over there.
Desconhecido
1:57
It arrives straight, first stage, does the first forming, then gets the finishes until it comes out all finished at the end of the line.
Desconhecido
2:06
Here, basically, are all our quality controls.
Desconhecido
2:10
I'm going to look at each device that will have a part, because all the lines are released through a part, saying like, 'I sign this part, it's OK, we can produce.'
Desconhecido
2:20
This unit is also vertically integrated in its tool correction process.
Desconhecido
2:27
That is, any kind of maintenance.
Desconhecido
2:30
Preventive.
Desconhecido
2:31
The tools, all here?
Desconhecido
2:32
All here.
Desconhecido
2:33
This is the tool shop crew.
Desconhecido
2:34
It's a tool shop.
Desconhecido
2:35
They're the artists, right?
Desconhecido
2:36
Exactly.
Desconhecido
2:37
The toolmaker is the artist.
Desconhecido
2:38
Exactly.
Desconhecido
2:38
They're the guys who make everything work.
Desconhecido
2:40
And here, then, you serve automotive customers, part of trucks as well, those parts you showed.
Desconhecido
2:46
Truck parts as well.
Desconhecido
2:46
The main customers, or rather, the main truck manufacturers in Brazil, we serve here.
Desconhecido
2:54
DAF, Scania, MAN and Mercedes.
Desconhecido
3:08
They all work in this same mode, between manual and semi-manual, which here we call the light stamping shop.
Desconhecido
3:17
Where we're going over there is the heavy stamping shop, which is the crown jewel we have here; it's 100% automated and makes skin parts.
Desconhecido
3:27
Here, Renan, basically, on the other side a square sheet is fed, like this one here, for example.
Renan Santos
3:35
Can you show this?
Renan Santos
3:36
Sure.
Renan Santos
3:36
Ah, this here is that so-called blank, grab it there.
Renan Santos
3:38
The blank, that's it.
Renan Santos
3:39
And then the stages of the...
Desconhecido
3:42
It's fed back there, passes through a washer, the loading robot already drops it in the first — the first press that we call the draw (repuxo), which is the draw we do for the first forming, then it continues doing the next operations.
Desconhecido
3:54
Here it's 100% automatic.
Desconhecido
3:57
These here are basically, Renan, all the parts we have that are made of leather; this is a show 1 as well.
Desconhecido
4:05
So, they're identified by the batches, which models they are, but these are parts that today we stamp 100% on this equipment here, which is a high-quality machine, right?
Desconhecido
4:18
That is, it delivers the final product to me, I deliver a bench and it delivers the final product to me, just so we can do the inspections and release them to the customers.
Desconhecido
4:26
And do all these parts here come out of this machine?
Desconhecido
4:30
All of these come out of here.
Desconhecido
4:32
Here... It's where we have our final inspections.
Desconhecido
4:36
So, what is the operator doing?
Desconhecido
4:39
He's applying a thin layer of reflective oil on top, with that little cloth, so he can spot any imperfection.
Desconhecido
4:48
And how is the sector in Brazil today?
- Neutral
Desconhecido
4:51
About: reduce the Selic rate
With interest rates very high, the first to feel it are the truck factories.
Why it was classified this way · 78% confidence Reports that the Selic rate is high and affects factories, without explicitly calling for action.
Desconhecido
4:55
And we end up feeling that here as well.
Desconhecido
4:58
The Selic is high, interest rates go up, financing... decrease.
Desconhecido
5:02
They disappear.
Desconhecido
5:03
They disappear.
Desconhecido
5:04
And sales, obviously, of auto parts fall as well.
Desconhecido
5:07
And here, what is this?
Desconhecido
5:08
Welding?
Desconhecido
5:08
Welding.
Desconhecido
5:09
Here there are several small components.
Desconhecido
5:13
We feed the fixtures, sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other.
Desconhecido
5:17
So, now when he puts it here, it will start up, the equipment will rotate over there.
Desconhecido
5:22
It will weld.
Desconhecido
5:24
It keeps welding.
Desconhecido
5:25
It welds component by component.
Desconhecido
5:28
And the one from there comes here already welded.
Desconhecido
5:30
It unloads.
Desconhecido
5:32
It came here welded.
Desconhecido
5:35
Now it opened the clamps.
Desconhecido
5:40
Then he will remove the already finished component.
Desconhecido
5:41
He will remove it, exactly.
Desconhecido
5:43
And he will resupply.
Desconhecido
5:44
Now he took out the finished one.
Desconhecido
5:47
And some components will migrate to the other side, because they are progressive.
Desconhecido
5:51
And others he will supply.
Desconhecido
5:53
There are two identical cells here.
Desconhecido
5:56
So...
Desconhecido
5:59
Is this from the Montana too?
Desconhecido
6:00
This one is from the T-Cross.
Desconhecido
6:01
Ah, from the T-Cross.
Desconhecido
6:01
This is Volts.
Desconhecido
6:04
From here on it's 100% Montana.
Desconhecido
6:06
For the second shift, we basically don't have any more scheduled production now.
Desconhecido
6:10
We only work one full shift here and some people in the afternoon.
Desconhecido
6:16
But all the lines here are different components.
Desconhecido
6:20
For example, here is the car's A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar, where assembling everything we'll have a side structure.
Desconhecido
6:30
And the component... I think the coolest one, which I'll show you, is the one that makes this whole line here, which is the car's longeron.
Desconhecido
6:37
This is where we made the car's longeron.
Renan Santos
6:40
So here are several, let's say, sets of metal components for the Montana.
Desconhecido
6:45
That's right.
Desconhecido
6:46
Which one is this, for example?
Desconhecido
6:47
Exactly.
Desconhecido
6:48
And all of them are sent to the Montana assembly over there.
Desconhecido
6:52
So, that is, we send them in the metal racks; they arrive there and they assemble them.
Desconhecido
6:57
I'll show you the largest component today.
Desconhecido
7:00
The biggest component of the Montana that we made is the car's longeron.
Desconhecido
7:03
The longeron of the truck bed.
Desconhecido
7:04
We stamp 100% of this component there.
Desconhecido
7:10
Here in our stamping shop.
Desconhecido
7:11
So you do it in the light stamping section, piece by piece.
Desconhecido
7:14
That's right.
Desconhecido
7:15
So you come here for all the welding?
Desconhecido
7:17
They come for welding and here it is welded 100%.
Desconhecido
7:20
We call it spot welding.
Desconhecido
7:22
This isn't MIG welding here, right?
Desconhecido
7:24
Which is bead welding.
Desconhecido
7:25
Here it's spot welding on 100% of the car.
Desconhecido
7:29
When we open our car's door, if we look, it'll be full of little dots.
Desconhecido
7:33
They are all spot welds.
Desconhecido
7:34
What is projection welding?
Desconhecido
7:36
They are welds we also do here, for components with nuts, for example.
Desconhecido
7:41
So, this one will take four nuts.
Desconhecido
7:44
It goes to a stationary station, like that girl over there is doing, welded, will be placed in the KLT boxes and will supply the lines.
Desconhecido
8:03
As a curiosity, this whole area here, from those sheets over there up to where that lit sign is, used to be the old Ford.
Desconhecido
8:15
Here was the service for the old Ford.
Desconhecido
8:18
When it left Brazil, this area was entirely deactivated.
Desconhecido
8:21
Ford of Bahia or of...
Desconhecido
8:23
Ford of Bahia.
Desconhecido
8:25
Ford Camassari.
Desconhecido
8:26
When it went...
Desconhecido
8:28
Here there was an entire line aimed at them.
Desconhecido
8:30
It was a line 100% exclusive to the Cargo.
Desconhecido
8:33
Ford was supposed to be in Rio Grande do Sul.
Desconhecido
8:34
Man, I remember it like it was today.
Desconhecido
8:37
Antônio Brito brought GM.
Desconhecido
8:41
that the 'GM in a tie' came during his administration.
Desconhecido
8:44
And he managed to bring Ford to Eldorado do Sul, which is part of the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre.
Desconhecido
8:52
And I remember there was a government transition at the time to Olívio Dutra.
Desconhecido
8:58
And it was a fight over tax incentives.
Desconhecido
9:01
And a fight over tax incentives.
Desconhecido
9:05
Eldorado had already been leveled, it's still that way there today.
Desconhecido
9:08
Eldorado was completely leveled.
Desconhecido
9:10
It was fenced off, the area that would be used there in Eldorado, crossing the Guaíba bridge to Eldorado.
Desconhecido
9:17
And it was all left behind; I think he paid to see at the time, and Ford was like, 'bye, bye.'
Renan Santos
9:24
Anyway, I ended up working in Bahia in metallurgy, and met many people who worked at Ford of Camaçai and they told me many stories.
Renan Santos
9:30
And now the B-Boy D went there, but there is no real production from the B-Boy.
Desconhecido
9:33
Yeah, it took over the plant that used to belong to Ford, right?
Desconhecido
9:37
But there's no production, you won't see this at the BYG factory there, right?
Desconhecido
9:40
No.
Desconhecido
9:41
Everything comes pretty much ready.
Desconhecido
9:42
Everything comes in containers: they assemble it, install it and it goes to market.
Desconhecido
9:48
It's much more of a tax maneuver than anything else, isn't it?
Desconhecido
9:51
I think so. So basically here the bars are assembled, placed on racks and from here they're dispatched.
Desconhecido
10:00
Actually it goes through another inspection process, right?
Desconhecido
10:03
Which we do to guarantee quality.
Desconhecido
10:06
It's a double check; we implemented it to ensure this car launch, so it's carried out for another 90 days, and then, yes.
Renan Santos
10:15
Have you seen Tesla's approach of making not just the chassis but practically the entire car—the metal parts—by injecting it all?
Desconhecido
10:27
Wow, man.
Desconhecido
10:27
Isn't that crazy?
Desconhecido
10:28
Amazing, man.
Renan Santos
10:30
It's incredible, but... They say Musk himself took part in it.
Renan Santos
10:35
I read in his biography that he was playing with a toy car, and many of the cars we buy—the whole chassis, the structure—is injected in one go.
Renan Santos
10:43
Then he said, why don't we inject a real thing?
Renan Santos
10:46
People were like, 'no, that's madness.'
Renan Santos
10:48
They invented a gigantic injection-molding machine in Italy, and they inject practically everything.
Desconhecido
10:55
That's insane.
Desconhecido
10:56
But is that something people talk about or demonstrate—this kind of method of theirs?
Desconhecido
11:00
I think people do mention it, but it's still far from being within reach.
Desconhecido
11:08
But, of course, it's more talked about as a curiosity than as something we're going to try to do.
Desconhecido
11:14
There's a lot of technology, Renan, very cool, up-to-date and practical.
Desconhecido
11:19
If I showed you the details, I'd show you some things that would surprise you that we have today.
Desconhecido
11:25
I come from two multinationals.
Desconhecido
11:28
And Etra has the scale of a multinational.
Desconhecido
11:32
When I worked in the sector, at Etra, I didn't even know it was Brazilian.
Desconhecido
11:37
Oh, there's Etra, you know?
Desconhecido
11:40
There's Gestante, those guys... And it has the size of a multinational, and I'll tell you, coming from multinationals, the group's technological level, man, is superior to the vast majority of multinationals.
Desconhecido
11:58
We have a lot of technology and today, man, all the technologies we use, especially in new launches, are cutting-edge.
Desconhecido
12:06
Here, Renan, it's 100% hand-painted.
Desconhecido
12:09
These cabins, okay?
Desconhecido
12:11
The ones we'll see up ahead are 100% painted by our painters.
Desconhecido
12:18
Over there there's still an immense world of e-coat, which is the underside of the cabins.
Desconhecido
12:27
So there's still a whole universe of processes over there to produce this cabin and get it here.
Desconhecido
12:32
I haven't even taken you to the assembly part... Man, it's huge.
Desconhecido
12:38
There's more; here we've basically reached the middle of the factory.
Desconhecido
12:41
Quick question: is this painted by hand?
Desconhecido
12:43
I'll show you here, you'll be surprised.
Desconhecido
12:45
100% hand-painted.
Desconhecido
12:47
Here, look. And there's a very talented team here, alright?
Desconhecido
12:51
It takes time to train a painter like that; it's a huge time investment.
Desconhecido
13:00
So we have a very talented team here.
Desconhecido
13:03
It's to deliver the product.
Desconhecido
13:04
Like, with this finish?
Desconhecido
13:05
Like, with this finish, measured, okay?
Desconhecido
13:09
All of that surface is measured.
Desconhecido
13:11
The microns of...
Desconhecido
13:12
Tone and measured—it's called glossiness or orange peel, which is that effect when you look and it's... Yes, yes, yes.
Desconhecido
13:20
All measured with precision equipment.
Desconhecido
13:23
These cabins come here, to what we call finishing, and here they are 100% finalized—that is, inspected; if there's something, it's polished, given a final finish, and only then we load them onto the truck; each truck can carry five cabins to send to Ponta Grossa.
Desconhecido
13:45
They go through light tunnels, inspections are done, and at the end the truck is loaded and shipped from here.
Desconhecido
14:07
I want you to feel comfortable, okay, Renan?
Desconhecido
14:09
You're very welcome; it was a pleasure to meet you.
Desconhecido
14:13
Etra insists on welcoming you and I'll hand the floor to you, okay?
Desconhecido
14:19
Welcome to the facility.

About: grant tax incentives and local content policies for industry
Brazil is going through a huge drama: it's seeing industries disappear, seeing people deprived of the right to high-quality jobs, because the government, instead of being a friend to those who work and produce, is a friend to unproductivity.

Renan Santos
15:34
It's a country where it's worth doing absolutely fucking nothing.
Renan Santos
15:37
Can I swear?
Renan Santos
15:39
It's a country where it's worth doing fucking nothing and just waiting for someone to give you something.
Renan Santos
15:45
It's a country where it's worth getting complacent, sucking up to politicians, sucking up to criminals.

Renan Santos
16:21
About: increase penalties for theft, robbery and receiving stolen goods
And at the end of the day, a guy comes to steal the fruits of your labor—even if it's a cellphone—and take it from you, and you know he won't even be imprisoned for 10, 20 years, which is what a serious country would do.

How many people I know, my friends, say like, 'Man... I work my ass off, then eventually I see there's a guy over there getting a fucking handout, got a little government job and I'm paying this guy's bill.'
Renan Santos
17:09
I bust my ass for someone else.
Renan Santos
17:11
just to sit back and do nothing.
Renan Santos
17:12
Or a guy who passes a civil service exam to do nothing, or a political crony whom a politician hires and sticks in a corner.
Renan Santos
17:19
How many times don't we see that and feel useless, feel wronged, feel like a sucker.
Renan Santos
17:24
You feel like a sucker because you do what's right.
Renan Santos
17:27
In Brazil, everything is backwards.
Renan Santos
17:30
You do the right thing, you won't be treated like a sucker.

That banker I mentioned, a banker from Belo Horizonte, with the support of a Supreme Court justice, all the party's guests—he went out with the most beautiful women in Brazil, went to parties, did all sorts of sleazy things with those people, and was celebrated; he went on Globo, to parties, everyone thought he was cool.
Renan Santos
17:55
But those who bust their ass, those who are working—no.
Renan Santos

You're treated like an enemy.
Renan Santos

I'll go back to the cellphone case: who here has been mugged or had a relative mugged, raise your hand.
Renan Santos
18:08
A third of the people here.
Renan Santos
18:10
If you look around, when you suffer this kind of violence, very likely the person who stole that item from you didn't return it to you, you weren't compensated for it, that person didn't serve the years they should in prison, and that person was back on the street very quickly.

That's what we need.
Renan Santos

This is in our proposals.
Renan Santos

And it's a plan that's not easy to execute.
Renan Santos
19:46
If it were easy, anyone would have done it.
Renan Santos
19:48
But it's the only possible plan.
Renan Santos
19:49
And I'm here, just as I'll be on television in the coming weeks, talking to you and doing something that almost nobody does.
Renan Santos

Renan Santos

Brazil is really about to go bankrupt.
Renan Santos
20:34
In two years, Brazil's debt curve will be so high that no one will want to roll over Brazil's debt anymore.
Renan Santos
20:41
It's like you're maxed out on your overdraft and the bank won't give you any more credit.
Renan Santos
20:45
That there won't be money for Brazil to pay its own bills starting as of 2028.
Renan Santos
20:50
That's the big problem.
Renan Santos
20:51
And the politicians know.
Renan Santos
20:53
So kind of over the last years they were on a spree of stealing and spending, pushing things along and seeing what to do later.
Renan Santos
21:00
As everyone knows, including the market, that the situation isn't good, everyone knows the next president will have to solve this.
Renan Santos
21:09
So they're trying to do it in two ways.
Renan Santos
21:11
Either they elect Lula or Flávio, who are the system guys who are in the game, who will stay there, keep kicking the can down the road and nobody will go to jail.
Renan Santos

The STF is above the law, including the guys in the STF, I could be arrested just for speaking.
Renan Santos

They're stealing.
Renan Santos
21:33
Alexandre de Moraes and the other minister of Astófone would be jailed in a serious country.

There will need to be someone honest, who doesn't have compromising ties with them, to put them back in their box.
Renan Santos
21:43
One.
Renan Santos
21:44
Two.
Renan Santos
21:45
There's a thing in Brazil called an 'emenda' (amendment).
Renan Santos
21:47
Has anyone ever heard of a parliamentary amendment?
Renan Santos
21:49
Whoever has heard of it, raise your hand, because otherwise I'll explain.
Renan Santos
21:52
Parliamentary amendments only exist in Brazil, it's a Brazilian invention.
Renan Santos
21:55
A deputy, a politician, he can take a piece of the government's money and do almost whatever he wants.
Renan Santos
22:00
That doesn't exist in the United States, it doesn't exist in serious countries.
Renan Santos
22:04
The parliamentary amendment is kind of a Brazilian thing.
Renan Santos
22:06
The deputies, they steal the parliamentary amendment.
Renan Santos
22:10
They take the government's money, send it to a friend in their town, the friend pretends to do a public works project and puts the money in his pocket.
Renan Santos
22:16
That's why every public work we see, or almost every one, is kind of poorly done.
Renan Santos
22:20
Because the money is diverted and it goes into the guy's pocket, and then the politician takes that money out of his pocket and buys the population's vote at election time.

Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence Defends 'colocar' the STF (Supreme Federal Tribunal) to operate within the rigor of the law (limit its power).
Renan Santos
22:48
Put them back in their box, make them work under the strict rule of law.
Renan Santos
22:52
For that, you can't have compromising ties.
Renan Santos
22:53
So, I don't have compromising ties, I don't know the other candidates personally to know if they have compromising ties.
Renan Santos
22:58
I know that Lula and Flávio do.
Renan Santos
22:59
And go after those two.
Renan Santos
23:02
With that, you calm the situation and can pass what needs to be passed.
Renan Santos
23:06
How do you do that without leaving health, security, and education short of money?
Renan Santos
23:11
That's a question from someone mature.
Renan Santos
23:15
Because people ask like, 'oh, just reduce taxes,' but... How do you pay the bill?
Renan Santos
23:18
Today, in Brazil, and this is very true, you will rarely see a candidate say this: today it's not possible to reduce taxes.
Renan Santos
23:26
If a politician says, 'I'll reduce like this,' it won't work, because there won't be any money left, because Brazil is in debt, Brazil is in the red.
Renan Santos
23:31
What will Brazil need to do?
Renan Santos
23:33
For me to reduce taxes, I'll have to cut spending.
Renan Santos
23:36
Then you have to look at the list of what spending will be cut.
Renan Santos

I'm talking about another 30, 40 billion just in that area.
Renan Santos
24:12
This set of reforms, plus others that need to be done, we'll have to raise something like 100 to 200 billion per year.
Renan Santos
24:20
If I cut 100 to 200 billion per year, the debt curve starts to fall, understand?
Renan Santos
24:24
Did you understand?
Renan Santos
24:26
It's as if everyone were on overdraft, on the credit card.
Renan Santos
24:28
It's in the red; if I stop spending, then the money remains, I start paying the debt, the debt decreases.
Renan Santos
24:34
With the debt decreasing, my credit increases and the interest rates I can get can be lower.
Renan Santos
24:40
I lower interest rates, which is the famous Selic rate.
Renan Santos
24:42
If I lower that, the value of the Brazilian's money increases and, at the same time, the spending we have paying interest decreases.
Renan Santos
24:50
Then I can cut taxes.
Renan Santos
24:52
About: reduce government spending

But at the start of the second year, it's not possible to do it.

In the first year you cut spending and then you cut taxes.
Renan Santos

This is the strategy we'll adopt.

Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence Reports the proposal detail (IPVA at 1%) as factual information.
Renan Santos
25:26
He will be able to do this by cutting the spending of the Legislative Assembly, which today is only for perks for state deputies.
Renan Santos
25:33
And also from radio and TV advertising that the governor keeps using to say he's doing works in the state, but he's not doing anything.
Renan Santos

Renan Santos
25:51
Because by reducing the IPVA, what happens to the automobile industry?
Renan Santos
25:55
Production increases.
Renan Santos
25:56
They will make more cars, and people will think, 'wow, I'll pay less tax on the car.'
Renan Santos
26:00
They'll want to buy new cars.
Renan Santos
26:02
And that helps production for you.
Renan Santos
26:04
We filed this bill, already collected the signatures and it's coming back this year.
Renan Santos
26:08
Then the IPVA will be at most 1% of the car's real value.
Renan Santos
26:12
But what did he do to get the bill moving?
Renan Santos
26:15
He has already paired the tax reduction with
Renan Santos
26:18
the spending reduction, which is spending on advertising.
Renan Santos
26:20
You know those TV ads we keep seeing?
Renan Santos
26:22
Like 'Lula inaugurated a footbridge now.'
Renan Santos
26:26
Cut that.
Renan Santos
26:27
That expense won't exist.
Renan Santos
26:28
We'll save billions on one side and then you can charge less tax on the other.
Renan Santos

You are.
Renan Santos

When your payslip comes and you look at what's being deducted for the government, that money goes there to pay the BPC to someone who is committing fraud, to someone who isn't working hard, to a guy who's pretending to be working and takes the family's benefit in a sneaky way.

When you create social programs that are supposedly to benefit a population in need, and when you see it, everyone adopts it and it becomes a standard model.

So we will have to create a real program, a real housing program.
Renan Santos

Minha Casa Minha Vida has become just a way for construction companies to lower their costs so anyone can buy.

And then you create these distortions.

That needs to be changed.

A good politician is one who sometimes tells you what you don't want to hear.
Renan Santos
35:43
Every good leader, in anything in life — and at work too — is like that. You must have your department heads, and the department head can sometimes be annoying, but it's to meet the target and in the end it's for the best.

A good leader says the things people don't want to hear.
