What I was trying to say is the characteristics of good leaders is pretty common and pretty well known and that what I’m looking for in a good leader aligns with that. But for exactly what you’re looking for (no particular order).
I agree with empathy. I want a political leader who can speak as best as possible to all Americans. I want someone who understands and attempts to understand the daily struggles of all people. Even those opposite them on the political spectrum. Even those who argue about what the leader does.
Accountable and responsible I agree with. My favorite coaches and leaders haven’t been afraid to say “I fucked up. I should have done better. I expect better of myself and you should as well.” I have told every person I’ve been in charge of before that I want them to hold me accountable. I can’t think of anything more juvenile than pretending one has never screwed up.
Learning agility (intellectual curiosity is what I often use) from the article is a good one. The best leaders are always learning just like the best people. Everyone should want a leader who wants to know more about their job and the world around them. Every good leader thinks they can be better at what they do by working hard to obtain more knowledge. Lazy people make lousy leaders.
Decisiveness is important (I learned that one the hard way but that’s another tale) but so is being able to shift course. Make a decision and stick to it. Unless information comes your way that makes sticking to it the wrong choice.
I could go on for a while but I will never knock out this last report if I do.
I felt this smack down from space. It hit so hard that it bounced off of Sagittarius A Star and still shook the ground I was standing on… WOW! OUCH!
LOL!

Earlier in some other thread I knew that the COVID-19 issue was going to slowly morph into a “Blue State/Red State-Conservative/Liberal” Issue…and in many circles it has.
Trump and is pseudo-revolutionary “LIBERATE YOUR STATE!” tweets (among many other things) is a huge reason why it is has devolved into this.
Have you seen some of these “grass roots” protest? They have the look and sound of a Trump Rally.
There usually is (it may not have been in this case); some national/international nexus.With that said, maybe grass roots efforts can have a national/international nexus and still be considered grass roots.
In a sense the stuff is unavoidable. I don’t see how a massive crisis of any kind at some point doesn’t turn into “what is the best type of solution.”
The only way things don’t get turned into that is if everyone agrees with the way to handle something which the odds of that are low. I’m not sure how any sizeable crisis with government debate could not turn into a partisan issue at least not with the current two party setup we have.
I bet a Pearl harbor would have a bipartisan reaction.
But generally, I do agree with you. Unless the enemy is external and threatens the very existence of the USA, her citizens are easily duped into blaming other citizens for the strife they endure.
9/11 had a bipartisan reaction initially (on the whole). But eventually everyone is going to disagree on what they think the government should do about a crisis.
Sadly with just a two party system it limits our representatives and people for the most part into falling in line together and having a 50/50 viewpoint.
Is it too much to ask our current leader to just shut the fuck up about how to treat this? Isn’t part of leadership knowing when to defer to others? But it is funny that now cameras are on doctors during speeches as they fight the urge to keep from saying or making any type of gesture about the stupidity.
“Supposing we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light. And I think you said that it hasn’t been checked, and you’re going to test it,” Trump suggested to Bryan and other health officials in the room.
The president continued, “The disinfectant, where it knocks the [coronavirus] out in a minute — one minute — and is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside, or almost a cleaning. Because you see, it gets in the lungs… so it’d be interesting to check that.”
