People off the field are better players in their own eyes than people on the field. Like in a game or any sporting activity (say a football match), spectators are the best players.
Meanwhile, the same way it is in football so it is in every job, task or undertaking. If you are not on the field, you don't feel the heat (i.e. the plight: problems, pressure, tension and agitation of those on the field).
Those who are not directly incharge (e.g. of: organising a program/event, a group/association, an enterprise, an institution and most importantly, public affairs), usually think the people incharge are under performing or lack the know how.
Since "some people don’t understand the burden of leadership" as hinted by Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, they blindly write off everyone in leadership. A lot of people make negative assertion about performances of others because they don't figure out what the task(s) in question entails and it's likely challenges.
At times, field workers are unduly maltreated for low performances by their superiors who is inside air conditioned office watching TV or surfing Internet without slight idea of the situation on the field.
At other times, staffs/subordinates hold their superiors/employers in bad light for their inability to meet up certain responsibilities without an idea of how challenging it is to sit as a manager or an employer of labour considering the risk involved.
It is very easy to spot the failure of those doing the job and 'bad-named' them, even when you cannot do as much they have done or they are doing. Everyone doing the job faces different challenges on the job that is beyond your imagination if you are not in their shoes.
At this junction, let me issue a disclaimer that this is not to shield anyone who is not delivering best performances at work or any undertaking but to set the right perspective for all.
To conclude people who are doing their best at something worthwhile are doing rubbish when you are busy at nothing is unacceptable. Would you have done better given the same task if at all you are able to function at their level of performance?
Spectators are the best players. A know-nothing thinks he knows it all. A do-nothing thinks he is good at everything.
