This really highlights Stephen Harper's failure to groom a successor or an array of candidates. But I think he wants it this way, he seems to want to be the smartest man in the room at any cost. I guess there are pros and cons to that.

Jean Chretien was similar, but I think he was blessed with a much stronger cabinet. It's too bad he never allowed anyone even a chance to touch the reins. Paul Martin would have had a better chance to do well if there had been a plan for succession. (Paul Martin was better suited as a Finance Minister than a Prime Minister, imo however).
