During my time in government, I have encountered many poor leaders. Their governance is ineffective, and they jeopardize their careers and their subordinates.
I am sure every government leader has received much information about the rules that must be obeyed to avoid corruption, collusion, and nepotism. However, the rules are like a game once they hold office. A game of finding loopholes to cheat and seek benefits for themselves.
For instance, he hired many employees when it wasn’t necessary. Ultimately, this led to higher salary expenses and a waste of resources. Most of the new hires were either his family or friends.
I don’t need to mention examples of corrupt practices. The pattern of corruption is similar, namely, using their power to complicate other people’s affairs. The goal is, of course, to get money or gifts.
Why am I answering the daily prompt question this time with examples of bad leaders?
Frankly, I have not found examples of good leaders in my workplace. They are all bullshit.
Developing the concept of an ideal leader in my mind only makes me disappointed, as if I live in a different world.
Although there are many corrupt leaders in my country, I believe there are still figures who still carry out fair leadership in government, companies, and their families. I do not know them personally. I sincerely pray for their welfare and health.
May my children and all of us renew our willpower to be good leaders in our respective environments.
Good leaders are not simply born; they are shaped by the education they receive from their families and strengthened by their commitment to serve their communities fairly.
