The truth is that most of our leaders are carried away by the name leader, they feel bearing the name leader they can do whatever they like. Leader means good example, when you lead the people will follow. Leader in the other way round is to serve but I'm sure but some leaders don't know this but they think being leader is come and be rich for their children. Leaderships is more of to serve, you do what the people wants , this is true leadership.
Most acclaimed leaders today are individuals who called parade themselves leaders but do not worth it at all..they are just opportunist who, by virtue of history and fate, held the position of leadership but are not truly leaders in nature or in practice. You cannot be a leader and be self-centered, always looking for ways to take advantage of their subjects, amass wealth for themselves and their immediate family whereas leaving their followers hungry and in abject poverty. A leader is described by their distinctive qualities and not just mere positions. It takes a whole lots of responsibility to be a leader, not so complex, but genuine and trustworthy enough to carry people along while working in the interest of the larger population than a group of friends and family.
We don't have no such things again, I think the reason why we have this kind of leaders in our time is because we are in the time where the people can't even choose a leader for themselves, a leader who is capable of doing the assignment and duties of leaders . How leaders are being selected now, they give us leader and force us to accept those who are not worth being a leaders, that is why when people like this go into power they only think of what they can do for themselves and not for the people.
