The qualities of the best

The Bible relates that when Jacob was alone in the desert, the night looked and looked for a place to sleep and protection. All I found refuge from the vermin were a few stones. He took them, formed a sort of fence around his head and rested. The lesson conveyed is that if the head is safe and functioning properly, the rest of the body's organs can be properly cared for.

The same concept applies to any organization, company or organization, beginning with the family. If the head, whether parent, manager, president or who has responsibility for others, it works consistently, everything else will too. This principle of leadership becomes very noticeable in politics. The good and bad leaders are easily detectable, because their actions affect millions of people.

In a study conducted in the United States, distinguished eight conditions that made the best leaders that took this country. His qualities, serve as a guide to understanding today's leaders and see who is approaching his stature. These characteristics are: humanity, compassion and respect for others. A style of government that unites, not divides. Rhetorical skills and ability to communicate a clear and realistic. Willingness to listen to the experts and the public. Ability to admit mistakes, accept criticism and be adaptable. Be committed and be inquisitive, with perspective and sense of history. Have integrity and build trust between people. Demonstrate moral courage, not daunted by the challenges.

Which of these virtues are the rulers of today? Most is very far from having even one. The drama is universal. As ever, autocrats, tyrants, megalomaniacs, the incapable or candidates for the title, have the support of millions of empty minds clapping their threats to civilization. The obscurantist philosophy narcotic, of which qualify as politically correct, is spreading everywhere. So apparently thinking individuals are believed to mix patriotically called the metaphysics of the people. The world may end in shattered and perhaps no one left to rebuild.

The stupidity and irrationality took over the planet. Muslims are the most uncivilized but are similar in other latitudes. In countries like Bolivia, where there is religious fanaticism, which are considered more advanced, are two to three hundred years behind in comparison to the rest of the world. The revolutionary rulers, original and modern feel, implementing measures borrowed from Communist Russia, mixed with slogans of the French Revolution. The vice-president, Evo Morales compared to Robespierre. Others go further and say he is the reincarnation of Jesus. Surely millions of Christians in the world should be eager to know the Messiah of the plateau seems to have forgotten that Jesus was Robespierre and scholars. Not to mention the qualities of Evo, it would be sacrilege.

Idolatry and homage to in power, common to all the opportunists and those who do not understand philosophy, macroeconomics, and politics was always constant in Bolivia. But comparing Evo with a saint or an intellectual, just shows obfuscation and ignorance. In the Evo is like Robespierre and there is every reason his vice president, is that the French revolutionary centralized public power and began what became known as The Government of the Terror. End in the guillotine was the fate of the ambitious head of the totalitarian. In Bolivia there is no head, which manages the country is in Caracas. With the trade agreement between Peoples, Bolivia will have to export the guillotine Venezuela: duty-free.
