In the world of journalistic and popular writers who double
as motivational speakers, leadership is the proverbial rainbow into which practically
any ideal can be subsumed. Unfortunately, the enterprise can be likened to a
hot-air balloon that has lost its moorings. That is to say, the link between
the aspirations and what they can actually deliver typically received little if
any real attention, not to mention respect. In some cases, the promises of
leadership motivational-speakers, or “coaches,” run up against, or ignoring outright,
human nature itself. Ironically, as such leadership preachments are typically
(and quite conveniently) oriented to upper-echelon corporate managers, or
executives, Communism suffers from the same flaw: contravening human nature.
Yet the leadership bubble continues upward, quite unabated by reality.
