Dominating character
Most of the time
the leader is not the one you/employees/people/voters think of someone to be
the one, but the leader position, in reality, is taken by the person you do not
like much, at least that is what we can say as per our understanding. Because
there is no natural funnel or a way to reach the top, you don’t reach there somehow
automatically because you are good at that work for the position. You have to
snatch it away from every possible person, To snatch, you need a drive, motivation,
motivation that “I want to be at the TOP”. Virtuous or Fair hardly becomes or reaches
the top position. That is the reason charisma influence decisions. We do not
get fair or virtuous or generous at the top position, people possessing charisma
or greed for power are the ones who get it. Power, It is an ecstatic orgasmic
feeling when you have power.
We do not love noble or virtuous characters; We love dominating characters. Sherlock Holmes is a dominating character, sherlock loves to bitch about or oppress Watson. We are not fascinated by Superman, but we love Batman. We love them because we want to see psychopaths that will break the chain of law.
This is where the definition of good and bad gets invented. It is invented by the people who cannot dominate. I am very specific with the words, again Abusive is not dominating. He/she is not dominating, they are abusive because there is someone who dominates them, and they cannot get out of that field.

I am kinda disagree with your observation but it may be true or may be not based on what types of leaders you met, probably you only observed the kind of leaders you talked about.
ReplyDeleteIt is individualistic thing. But it is not about individual being evil or manipulative it is about an individual being dominating, off course there will be exceptions from mathematical probability.
