The (first) team he build up has always been considered one of the best.
And selecting the right people to have by your side is a big part of being a good team boss.
But i'm certain that there has been points where he has been a bigger liability than help. But this is problem in most companies started and run by the founder into old age, where he/she loses the grip of whats necessary. So I wouldn't blame Henri Pescarolo for that personally, I would blame his age for it.
This leads to what is probably my biggest hope for Pescarolo Team/Racing, than Henri manages to succesfully restart the team, and in a year or two establishes on the grid as a Dark Horse, and then retires and let the team live without him.
He has earned to have a team named after him, which outlive him.
