User:Average/Leadership

Good leadership is a combination of action, stewardship, and wisdom. Since there is a paucity of wisdom in leading, you see a rise of adhocracies and other forms of governance.

Some create a secondary type of leadership through reading the wisdom produces by others (leadership manque), and then leading with book-in-hand (name any sect: Marxists, Christians, etc.). This works until a failure of personal abilities creates a wisdom hole and the process repeats in some form.

The absence of leadership creates a problem: entropy. Without (good) leadership, there is no further development of (virtuous) order, resources get expended without being channeled into useful systems of innovation. Otherwise, once resources go low, it leads to a Dark Age scenario, until the problem repeats itself.

So the problems of leadership can't be set aside with mere political theories or desires for freedom from leadership. No, the only solution is to rise up, take the personal risks that are required to create experience, learn from mistakes, and lead -- leaving room for others to take the helm once in awhile.

The New World Order will create a system for leaders to develop, has short term cycles for faster evolution of civic wisdom, and a hierarchy of power for successful adventurists to rise through the ranks by the People themselves. Study it, and find out for yourself.
