Politics is one of the most dangerous zones that humans can enter or engage in in their life. For instance, since ancient times, politics has been a significant challenge for a group of leaders in society. For example, the world has been viewed as a structured political entity despite the native impacts of politics on many economies in the world. As such, many factors can be applied in assessing whether an individual is a good or bad leader.
However, the elements change depending on the requirements of the people and the kind of challenges the people are facing at the moment. In the modern world, the factors have changed because of too much material life and many other aspects like discrimination, racism, and more that people have been taught the political leaders. The public may choose a good or bad leader depending on the information in the media, their character, and most importantly, their influence. Although politics has been viewed as a dirty game, some factors can create good leaders in the economy.
The state can either make an individual a good or bad leader. The state’s primary aim is to have its vision going or running for the benefit of the people. However, in most cases, this is not the case because people have faced so many challenges because of following the state. In the film The Patriot, the economy of America is depicted as a state that chooses whom its leaders are supposed to be for the people. Intrinsically, this is the reason why the military has been mistreated for a very long time, not enjoying their freedom but acting as slaves to the government.
As a political, it is hard to have a personal objective of what you want life to be because the state determines most political decisions. There is a higher likelihood that the state determines the moves a leader takes in the designation issued. Political leaders are thus given orders to fulfill for the people or government. However, in most cases, the government will determine the key issues they face. The government will choose the characters of the leaders that the people want. As a result, people will choose the leaders that they do not want.
The significant impact of such decisions is in the future when the public gets exposed to more challenges that they could have avoided. A significant number of states have created the leaders they want and not those the public needs. Therefore, this has exposed a significant percentage of economies to the political and leadership issues they currently face.
Despotism is another element that can create a good or bad leader. Despotism has both positively and negatively influenced a significant number of leaders worldwide. For example, in the Reds movie, the political leaders were despots because they influenced the economy of Russia. The acts are the ones that created so many communist and socialist policies for the benefit of the actors, artists, and the general public. The big challenge is that most leaders have misused such characters for their benefit. Some economies cannot grow unless they have such types of leaders because of the worst state of politics they are in.
This trait has created good leaders in many other countries, which has helped the economies grow to be good in the future. However, despots can adversely impact the growth of an economy. This is because the leaders only think about the motions that will benefit themselves and not the people who voted them into the positions. A significant percentage of such leaders are crueler and have influenced the traits of many upcoming leaders in the economy. Thus, despotism can make a good and a bad leader depending on the nature of the ancient politics of the economy.
Liberal democracy is one factor that creates good leaders for the benefit of the economy. Many other factors have been confirmed to be essential; however, this forms the basis of good leadership. The top-performing economies have applied the liberal structure of democracy in their politics. The leader will always consider the people’s will and create an excellent social and democratic economy. The nature of the policies created will factor in the needs and suggestions of the people. Hence, liberal democracy is a crucial builder of good leaders in a political state.
The fact that political leaders are determined by their vision and influence on the public cannot be ignored. However, the state has determined a significant number of leaders’ actions. More significantly, the state builds the leaders based on what they want them to deliver at the end. As such, liberty, democracy, despotism, and the state play a significant role in choosing good or bad leaders. Therefore, the above factors must always be considered when choosing the best leaders for an economy.
