Council 1: Who is a political leader
"Political leader." This phrase hundreds of millions of people daily hear from TV screens, meet in different texts. But not all of them can clearly and clearly explain the meaning behind this term.
Instructions
1
Who can be considered a political leader? At first glance, the answer to this question is very simple, literally lies on the surface. The political leader is the head of the state or some party, the social movement. However, this simplicity is only apparent, because this is not always the case.
2
A political leader is, above all, a person,which can truly (and not nominally) lead the country or large masses of people, rally and organize broad sections of society, inspire them with sympathy for themselves, believe in the truth of their work, their ideas. He must have the gift of persuasion, the oratorical talent, the remarkable organizational skills, strong will for this. In a word, to have, as now often said, a pronounced charisma. A political leader must be morally prepared for difficulties, to take on full responsibility, if necessary, to resort to strict, even harsh measures for the common good.

Therefore, only one high office,to become a political leader is not enough. History knows a lot of cases when states were led by weak, unprepared people, who in their business and moral qualities simply did not fit the place they occupied. In peacetime, with a favorable situation, this is somehow tolerable. But in the era of trials, the inability of such people to be political leaders turned into a great misfortune both for themselves (and their loved ones), and for the people, the state. And the fact that these incompetent leaders could be quite worthy people who sincerely desired the good of their people does not play any role. Classic examples are the French King Louis XVI and the Russian Emperor Nicholas II.

A political leader must steadfastly defend the interests of his people, the state. At the same time, he must take into account the interests of the other party, go, if necessary, to a reasonable compromise.

Unfortunately, often political leadersthere are people who, as they say, "a cannon shot" should not be allowed to power. The most typical example is Adolf Hitler, who, possessing indisputable oratorical talent, the gift of persuasion, deftly speculating on the colossal difficulties experienced by the German people due to the predatory conditions of the Versailles peace, and on the feeling of national humiliation, managed to inspire the majority of Germans with fanatical faith in themselves and become at the head of Germany. What this has ended for both Germany and the world is well known.
