Vindictive Public Leadership Style
Learning to live together is an art that enhances productivity.
Eliminating others to live is counter productive.
Someone has something you need. You have something the others need to maximize their lives.
We must learn to find the best in others and bring them out. You bring your supplies, I bring my supplies; I take what I need, you take what you need. Everyone is supplied; none is lacking. This is the society we should aspire to create. Not the one that seeks to eliminate others because it must survive. Not the one that revels in vindictiveness and revenge. Once upon a time, we had a vindictive public leader in the person of PMB.
No society maximizes its potentials when the leaders are vindictive. All the citizens don’t have to love you or support you, but you don’t pay them in their own coins. That’s vindictiveness. It’s a counter-productive leadership style.
There is enough for everyone if only greed is put in check. This is what I teach my students about public leadership. I call it the principle of Enoughneess.
There is enough. We lack because we horde. Hording is an act of greed. Public greed is more dangerous than war.
Many public leaders suffer from two sins: greed and Vindictiveness.
These two are debilitating and self-destructive.
