RE: Take me to your leader

in The LIFESTYLE LOUNGE5 years ago

I noticed the reason why most people follow an influence is to get familiarity with the influencer.

And I do really love how you distinguished a leader from an influencer.

So from what I can understand, you have point that a leader will surely try his best to do the right thing no matter.

But an influencer can give directions even though he himself is not going through that direction.

On Instagram for example, there is close to zero chance of getting feedback from a large account - which is generally run by a professional media team. There is the "glory by association" play though, where people feel like if they are up with what someone famous does in their personal lives, they are part of the "in" crowd. The ego is pretty pathetic.

Pretty much. It is also why a lot of leaders lose their leadership as, not everyone wants the burden of doing the right thing - so find an excuse to not have to - usually at someone else's expense.

Yeah I get the whole point.

Looking at my country as an example, we have leaders who have lost their position because of money looting and we still have others giving excuses of how money disappears and no record of their expenses.

I just know the world will be better if there are leaders ready to do the right thing.

We have to hold ourselves to the same standard at least.
