YES, it was a nice compliment!
Actually, my best friend gave me excellent advice on this. I am in fact NOT looking to replace my boss AT ALL, OR get him fired, OR demoted OR moved to another role. My goal is to complement my boss with this promotion.... he has his strengths, and I have mine, and we can work together in harmony IF I got promoted. There is room for another leader on my team. So my girlfriend's advice is to simply promote myself as a nice compliment to the other leaders' existing strengths, AND to fill a position that is currently NOT filled right now. There IS a role that is open, it hasn't been filled, and the person who had it previously was fired from that role. They haven't filled it since then. SO, there's an opening. But my goal is not to get anyone out of my way. That is not my style. I leave it up to the CEO to determine these things.
