Leadership
3:04 PM
I'm not even gonna talk about what it means to lead
That subject itself is too broad, too
vague and so subjective.
Instead, lets talk about failure leadership. What happens when our leaders fail?
When a leader of a system fails, all hells breaks loose.
Looking at the so-recent fall of the
Egypt government,
Mubarak, we learn the consequence of how failing to lead can throw your own people against you.
Yet, what kind of leader is he really? Spending people's money, wasting it all even when his most of his own people lives $1.20 a day? Some even less...
Leaders are suppose to be there for you, to bring you to your goals and strive for the better of the group, not suck the money of people dry. Leaders are given recognition for their hard work and effort, they are recognised and respected. Yet some people misuse this.
Consumed by greed, they throw the country/group/organization into a state of
irreversible chaos. People need leaders that would actually lead them to a better future.
Yet, what if despite the leader's good intent, he/she fails to bring the people out of its miserable plight and instead fall compeletly helpless to the situation? Barak Obama is no doubt a charming man, talented in speaking, charismatic and influential. However, even he could not bring America out of their economical crisis. The America economy is dying, barely hanging on a string. People are desperate.
The once great America is now buried in debts. Like her people, she has spent more than she can pay, borrowed more than she can repay.
Unemployements, currency fall, all these are signs of unrest and unsettlement.
How unsettling indeed...
To those who thought that Change WILL COME surely are disappointed.
How unnerving it is to see the fall of a once great country, and watch as a man falls buderned by the failure of his predecesses.
What if the failure leader is blind to his or her own faults?
Well, i do believe there are leaders like this in the world, plently in fact.
Some leaders tends to give empty " motivational" speeches and "blessings" to the people. Able to speak in a large crowd and being a Harvard grad seems to have given her the rights to lead.
But has it?
Empty talks and stupid motivational speeches fall flat on the ground as a refusal to acknowlege the fact that the school has already fallen from grace, and is now sinking like the Titanic.
Ironic...
Would students be motivated if you blatently lie to them about the results of the school in hope to protect the school's reputation?
Or would it be better to just acknowelge that the school is no longer in its glory days and that the students must, for their own sake, wake up and work hard or fall from grace like their seniors.
They didnt do well...
And if this keeps up?
Neither would we
At the end of the day, failure in leadership is the failure to think for the people you are leading.
Leaders tend to forget the feelings of their members, and disregard their opinions and feelings.
When that happens, it time to disgrad the leader :D
