RE: The Dynamics of Power - Part 3 - Characteristics of Leadership
The leader is not made with the position held. But leaders make a position. There are characteristics that make leaders stand out. This characteristic is similar to plastic surgery to be comfortable so that it becomes part of the body. This kind of person makes leadership look easy. Great leaders do not have to be communications experts, reliable salesmen, or even humorists. They have a person who says, "I have a high personal integrity and respect for people and life." The essence of this person comes from who they are, not what is said or done. They want the leader's actions, because they will lose charisma if a leader does not keep his promise. Employees and customers are no longer easily fooled by rhetoric and charisma. Great leaders have much better legality than those who are led. The skill of great leaders is to motivate people to be leaders themselves.
Power as an aspect of domination and the other is to maintain it.
I don't believe that people need leaders, but like we said we can educate any citizen to be an agent of change.
Leadership is about centralized power, oligarchic organizations that are getting too big, blind, deaf and dumb to feel people's needs and opinions.
Power as to be decentralized too and have to give back the inalienable rights of every person.
Political leaders usurps the rights of people.
Montesquieu said that there was to kinds of corruption: one when people do not observe the Law and the other is when the Law corrupts them and erases the difference between colect taxes and theft.
