Having said that, it is not the case that all leaders when faced with a collapsing world indulge in marketing and slick advertising to diver the attention of the people.įor instance, both Barack Obama and the Chief Minister of Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal, promised to End the Status Quo and overhaul the system from within. Not all Leaders Give Up: the Examples of Obama and Kejriwal
Indeed, one can very well ask Trump why there are Millions on Food Stamps and Modi about why jobs are disappearing instead of being created. While it is hard to argue with such blind devotional sentiments, the reality is that the American Economy that was booming mainly due to the good work done by Trump’s predecessor, Barack Obama, is now showing signs of slipping into recession and the Indian Economy has now entered a slowdown due to the confluence of cyclical, systemic, and person made disasters that is threatening to induce social unrest and massive chaos. Of course, there are legions of followers for both these leaders who point to the many achievements that they have accomplished and insist with almost religious and fanatical fervour that Modi and Trump are indeed the ones that they have elected for a reason. However, once elected, they have resorted to Showmanship and Empty Rhetoric and some experts draw comparisons between them and the mythological Emperor Nero who was fiddling while Rome Burnt. Populism, Radical Change, and why Modi and Trump are Behaving the Way they areįor instance, both Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, and Donald Trump, the president of the United States, were elected on a populist platform with the central slogan being that Good Days are Here. This is the reason why democracies around the world see saw between hope and despair as each election brings forth leaders who promise the moon and instead, once elected, revert to either diverting the attention of the people or worse, simply letting the situation worsen. Indeed, what the world is now facing is the Convergence of several factors that has led to a Perfect Storm of trends and events where the very survivability of the World as We Have Known It is threatened. As the cliché goes, there are no easy answers to complex problems and in the contemporary world, there are problems aplenty and while there are solutions, they are not easy to implement and execute. So, how do leaders strategise and come up with solutions, if there are any solutions at all. Whether it is climate change that is threatening our way of life or excessive debt and extreme inequality rupturing the social fabric, there are many problems that leaders have to confront in the present times. It would not be an exaggeration to say that we are in the midst of a slow motion collapse of our systems and the world in general.
