From a story at HuffPo regarding Dempsey:

"He has a remarkable effervescent personality that attracts people to him and makes them want to work for him rather than just following orders,’’ said Scales. “As a veteran sergeant major once told me, ‘Never underestimate the advantage of being liked.’’’

I think Dempsey is a good pick -- one that the other Joint Chiefs recommended, and President Obama heeded.
