What is the elegant definition of leadership

Read the topic line. Don't just think MWHC.

Why would there be an "elegant" definition of something as complex and multidimensional as real leadership?

Perhaps taking ownership for mistakes?

Respecting the people you lead?

knowing when to delegate?

knowing who to delegate to?

Living in reality and not in your own fantasies even when that is painful?

Communicating clearly and effectively?

I suppose if you really need an "elegant" definition, perhaps..."Don't be Donald Trump." will be your best bet.

Leadership is the art of lifting human potential to a higher standard, uniting people behind a shared vision, and creating a space where others grow. It is defined by three key elements: vision, empathy, and influence.

With the midterms here, just thought might make for a good topic. I see things here are still a little rough.

Leaders are bad and we should do away with them.

Letters are bad and we should bring back hieroglyphics.

Things have been rough here for the past 20 years lol, what did you expect?

Also, it you really are interested in discussion, open with that, don't just half-trollingly refer us to the topic title.

I read it and thought immediately that this is about Obama

[Bereta_Eder]

don't fart while giving orders?

[Aeson]

It should be: a leader eats last

It is: the least ethical who got away with it

Elegantly, in two words:

Not Trump

Putin edition of leadership and/or peace:

The Supreme Court of Russia on Monday ruled in favor of the nationalist pro-Kremlin Rodina (Motherland) party and barred Yabloko (Apple) — Russia's only anti-war party — from participating in September parliamentary elections.

Rodina accuses Yabloko of receiving undeclared financial support from Western sources, among other things.

Arguing before the court, Yabloko vehemently denied the accusations and railed against Rodina's lack of supporting evidence.

On Monday, Judge Vyacheslav Kirillov said, "The claims seeking to annul the registration of the federal list of candidates for the State Duma of the ninth convocation, nominated by the Yabloko political party, were granted."

The court's decision means citizens opposed to Russia's four-and-a-half-year invasion of Ukraine — or "special military operation" as it has been legally deemed under penalty of imprisonment — have no opportunity to vote for representatives willing to articulate that opposition.

Yabloko leader Nikolay Rybakov told the hundred or so supporters gathered outside the court, "Excluding Yabloko from the election means refusing dialog with people who ask questions that are uncomfortable for the authorities."

"We have a long road ahead and we have a big and important task — to stop deaths and bring back peace. Everything we do should be dedicated to that," Rybakov added, vowing to appeal the decision.

Yabloko — the only liberal party still operating in Russia since most of President Vladimir Putin's opponents have been jailed, exiled or murdered — has received the backing of several exiled opposition figures, including Yulia Navalnaya, the widow of the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny.

Yabloko was once a strong liberal force in Russia but like other opposition outfits it has been systematically sidelined by the Kremlin.

The party is currently only polling around three percent — short of the five percent threshold for entry into parliament — and has not won a seat in the federal State Duma since 2003.

Putin-backing United Russia has won every single election since then and that is expected to again be the case in September.

But despite barring political opposition to the war, public opinion toward the conflict has soured, more so since Ukraine has intensified its attacks on energy and logistics infrastructure inside Russia.

The non-governmental Levada Center — which is on the Kremlin's "foreign agents" list — charts support at around 66%, the lowest since Russia launched its attack against neighboring Ukraine on February 24, 2022.

The Kremlin has cracked down on opposition to the war with strict censorship rules and mass arrests, with many activists and journalists preferring to flee than to face potentially deadly persecution by staying in Russia.

You have to feel sorry for Putin sometimes. It must be very difficult for him to run a representative democracy and conduct free elections when everyone in the opposition turns out to be a traitor or a criminal.
