leading man

What da hotheaded and full-of-himself animal-trainer character Hynes viewed himself as when contemptuously walking Lassie and da rest of da Duke of Rudling's prized pets on a leash. After da equally-temperish-but-fairer-and-more-sensible-minded upper-crust squire finally "sacked" said "utter nincompoop" lackey, I'm assuming dat he then didn't think of himself as quite such an entitled charming expert in furry four-legged-creature husbandry.
Much as he hated to admit it, da Duke saw how much better of a "leading man" dat Sam Carraclough would make than da incompetent bungling Cockney whom he'd previously employed to look after his animals.

Cooking with a Lead Pan

A metaphor describing a business strategy, decision, or practice that delivers quick or impressive short-term results, but creates serious long-term problems, liabilities, or risks.

Just as using a lead pan might make food seem fine at first but slowly poisons those who eat it, “cooking with a lead pan” implies that a company or leader is pursuing results that look good now but will prove toxic over time - for the business, employees, or customers.
Launching that product without proper testing might look good on the quarterly report, but we’re cooking with a lead pan if we ignore the long-term brand damage.”

“Cutting customer support to save costs is just cooking with a lead pan — we’ll pay for it in churn and reputation later.”
