Leaders: What Was & What Is

If you stack up today's leaders against those they inherited from in the last 50 years or so, this is what you get:



The Concept
What Was
What Is
1
Vision
Something the leader believed in and shared with the people.
Something the leader saw after a drunken orgy.
2
Escort
A friend you needed by your side.
(i) A Mistress (ii) 30 assorted military personnel armed to the teeth.
3
Manifesto
A political document outlining programmes the leader will try to implement.
A photocopy of some document the leader will give out contracts to have printed and distributed to you.
4
A Promise
The leader resigns if he could not keep it.
You got fired if you reminded the leader about keeping it.
5
The People
The leader knows he works for them.
The leader’s thugs know to work them over.
6
Humility
The leader always gives credit to others, never to himself.
What?
7
Civil Servants
The guys he loves to work with.
Remove “Civil”.
8
Education
Blessed with it & appreciated.
The piece of paper he faked.
9
Corruption
Is it the same as corrosion?
Making a decent living.
10
Election
The leader respected the process.
What?
