Why would or wouldn't you make a good national leader

I would definitely NOT because:
1) I do not like to feel responsible for anyone other than myself
2) I am not good in emergencies (like a deer in headlights)
3) I am not resourceful
4) I lack many adult skills
5) If anything goes wrong, I'd be blamed
 

I have come to realise that I make a good second in charge.
I am a support person who can help the leader bring their vision into being.

For this reason I would not make a good national leader.
 
I'd be a good leader because I can inspire and help people to achieve goals and become better than they are. I'm also empathetic and compassionate, which is helpful in case of natural disasters. I try to be very diplomatic in life. Everyone's point of view is important to me. I'm a fast learner and I can make important difficult decisions easily. And I don't sweat it if people blame me for something.
On the down side, I do require a lot of me time. This would conflict with a world leader's schedule for sure and wouldn't be good for the people I govern.

I had enough trouble being a Cub Scout leader years ago dealing with six mothers who though their kid deserved a patch they didn't earn. I can only imagine what a mess I would make as a national leader.

Lordy


Not a national leader….oh-h-h-h-h-h no
Don’t know if I’d be a good one, but would never ever ever be one.

Been a leader

Usually picked by my peers

The most challenging (and masochistic fun) was heading an engineering dept

Those egomaniacs could never agree on a design for their lives

Getting wedged between marketing demands with their tight windows to get a quote out
and an engineer that wanted to twiddle around proving his design before having even the bill of material ready,
turned me into a salivating ogre…..sheesh, I may have nightmares tonight, just thinking about it.

It’s funny, I sat in on many an exec meeting with folks trying to pick a dept leader.

The meetings all start the same;
‘We need to be very selective, this is a heavily focused position’

Three meeting later;
‘Who can we get!!???’

Now, a tiny isolated kingdom where nobody challenged my authority, I could have fun with that

Honestly I wouldn't make a good national leader. I am not intelligent enough to run a country. The things that would be important to me probably wouldn't be important to others.
 
I would be a great national leader because I ....no I wouldn't because I am just too nice But cat ownership would be compulsory!!
 
Nor me

I would definitely NOT because:
1) I do not like to feel responsible for anyone other than myself
2) I am not good in emergencies (like a deer in headlights)
3) I am not resourceful
4) I lack many adult skills
5) If anything goes wrong, I'd be blamed


I'd be similarly hopeless IMHO, but I was once told I had "Hitler tendencies", so you never know :eek: !

The first law I'd bring in is everyone forced to have a dog to chase all those cats about too :D .

While I’m certainly not a follower I wouldn’t be the least bit interested. I couldn’t be bothered to lead anyone and prefer to be on my own so don’t look at me. Pick someone else. I’m too selfish. Lol
I pick Gary. I’d trust him. Plus just look at him. He fits the part. Just don’t buy him too much beer. :laugh:

Ditto to all this except 2/. I am good in emergencies and 2/. I am very resourceful.

In the past, your list would have disqualified you but in our present world, you might be just right for the job.

Hmmmm, this trust thing could be useful


My first ruling would be to establish a world clock

It’d be the same as the clocks today, ‘cept Beer thirty would be on there.

Not a real time, of course, so the clock would just (poof) change to a picture, or gif.

When? You ask
Whenever I say

Even if at war
But, hey, there wouldn’t be no war
Can’t have war and drink beer at the same time
So, we’d be all like, ‘the next round’s on me’ pat pat

Company meetings would be looked forward to

Coming to agreements would be signified by the clanking of steins or mugs
(that’d be mandatory)

Factories would be required to have picnic tables
With built in ice chests at the end

We’d all drink outside, like they do in Mexico
(‘cept up north, there’d be heated pavilion tents)

After awhile, everbody would go back to work….. after a nap

Think about it
The economy would be burgeoning due to the simple fact that salty things would be needed,
so chip factories would rival the breweries,
along with ice chest factories, tent factories,
and wood mills, meeting the demand for all those picnic tables.

There’d never be a gas shortage, since you can’t drink and drive…at least YOU can’t.
I’m much like Andretti when I have a few.

Anyway

Just think about it;

It’s tougher to be mad at whoever or whatever you hate after a few brews

We’d all be like, ‘hey, yer not so bad, the next round’s on me’

I’m on this

Election year is right around the coroner….corner

Hey, this not only could work, it will work (my slogan)

This has been brought to you by the Gary O’Blivious for leader or ruler, or king committee

cheers

and then, after I got tired of ruling slovenly drunken subjects, I'd step down and maybe stay busy by starting some sorta magazine

Eliminate Daylight Saving Time.
Figure out how to rid the world of mosquitoes.
But,sadly,to many skeletons to come falling out of the closet.
 
When I take over the world, we will be doing things my way.:) Really, if I did become a world leader, I would promote programs, which I believe would help mankind. You don't need some sort of superior intellect to figure out what is the more correct thing to do. What happens next will be for the history books. There are just too many moving parts to ensure your ideas will succeed.
 
Well,y'ALL get the chance to be my 2-i-c,you LUCKY people!

HOW? Simples...I'll be busy ensuring everything's free [except for 150% purchase tax, natch], only caves are centrally heated, haircuts are banned, all weapons of any variety are melted down to help build our very own Stairway to Heaven,all tyres are made of recycled old tin cans [THAT'LL stop speeding in rain & ice] only teddybears have a vote [voting will be made illegal for humans] using snuff will be compulsory over the age of 35,wearing of clothes will be optional, it'll be compulsory for EVERYONE over the age of 6 to write at least one love-song per calendar year, toothache will be outlawed-the person who tells the best joke of the year will win 1000 doughnuts of their choice, it'll be illegal to laugh at chickens, the Muppets will be granted immunity, spoons will be sharper...and I think I may have stood in more than I can chew...hmmm...
