 ===Leadership Style===
-James was clearly (and understandably) upset by some of the criticism which was coming at him at this point. He felt that his job was to do more than ''just send e-mails and chair meetings'', however some other officers felt that essentially the Director job is indeed centred mainly around communication and people management rather than making the big decisions. This sentiment actually became a bit of a running joke in the coming years, with 2006/07 Station Director [[Matthew Tole]] being quoted as saying ''I have none of the power, but all of the responsbility''.
+In reponse to some of the criticism he was receiving James stated that he felt that his position involved more than just "sending e-mails and chairing meetings", however some other officers felt that essentially the [[Station Director]] job is indeed centred mainly around communication and people management rather than making the big decisions. This sentiment later became a running joke in later years, with 2006/07 [[Station Director]] [[Matthew Tole]] being quoted as saying "I have none of the power, but all of the responsbility".  This disagreement was perhaps the crux of the issues which eventually led to the no confidence vote, which is a shame as such disagreements appear to have been few and far between in recent YSTV history, with most debates focussing on how to improve the reach, image or output of the station rather than how it is run.
-It could perhaps be said that this is the crux of all the issues which led to the eventual removal of James as Station Director - disagreements over the leadership style within YSTV. This is a shame, and seems to be {{unsure|unique within YSTV's history}} for such strong disagreements to have occurred.
