In a democracy, such quality of leadership emanates from the people. It has always been said, we get the government we deserve because the people themselves choose their elected officials who will lead them. And most of the time, citizens do not use their best judgement in choosing their leaders, but think with their grumbling stomachs. The time to become an educated voter is now, by being responsible and wise as a leader in your own right. (From the entry "Wise Leadership" P. 105) ER -
