What are the leadership skills all our politicians lack in the USA?

It seems to be a big issue that we just can't shake. Dem or Rep there are major gaps in how we do things and why things don't get done. Please don't share things like blaming either side. I would like to get some credible feedback on how we can solve what area's we are lacking in. Thank you ahead of time.

 

1. Honor
2. Honesty
3. Commitment to the Constitution

Give us those and we will have America back on top!

 

It's hard to think there's nobody who has these qualities in the usa. But maybe you're right.

 

They lack a human soul. They're all either of malicious alien bloodlines or sociopaths. Think about it, no one wants to be blamed for everything and have every single word and action scrutinized unless they are psychopaths.

Obama and Romney are both of the Ted Bundy frame of psychos.

 

Honesty is the biggest thing missing, I think. After that, integrity. Nobody tells the truth and everyone is for sale. You can't trust leadership like that.

And it's not just the government. It's all kinds of leadership -- social, economic, spiritual, technological; none of it's honest, all of it can be bought by the highest bidder.

 

1, Basic understanding of economics.
2, Determination

 

The lack of understanding of economics, the lack of honesty and transparency, Constitutional law, as well as the lack of imagination and creativity hinders most policy-makers.

 

I feel it is more the agena that they have than what they lack. Full of corruptness and career politicians what is gone is the presence of servant leadership.

It use to be that being in political office was a burden and a great duty. Back then those in office truly were in it to be sevants of and work for the good of the people instead today they work only for the good of their political careers and party.

 

They are thinking that they are the great persons and controlling the all peoples. They don't interact with public directly and so how they can know the peoples problems ? All politicians are corrupted. If we need any help means how much will you give for party fund.

 

They have great leadership skills. They are leading us merrily towards destruction. It's their morality that's lacking.

 

I would say that any politician in any part of the world has the values that Coolwalker mentions. Odds agreeing with him, but he's right.

 

The best we can do is elect the most capable person to deal with America's problems. As far as the problems, they are unknown and won't be known until they reveal themselves over time. And when they occur, we rely on our most capable person to deal with it. The problem is not with the elected, the problem is with what's going on in America- all these unforseen things happening that all stem from 2000-2008.

 

Those are perfect examples of attributes lacking in today's politician. Todays politician are also whores for votes and are completely out of touch with the lifestyle and needs of the average person. They will say whatever they need to in order to get elected, while at the same time, having no intention of following through once elected.

What is even worse is that the people trust the politician's rhetoric, even though they know they are being lied to just because the candidate is a smooth talker. Obama is one of the worst one I have seen in my lifetime. He will blatantly lie to the people almost every time he opens his mouth and, because his supporters are so desperate in their "hope", they buy it "hook, line, and sinker".

 

We see a 'lacking' in our politicians, because too many of them (and other Americans at large) have been corrupted by money. We who are concerned, need to PUSH for virtually any laws which promote ideas such as the one proposed here.

Until we come to grips about the corruption associated with money, we as a nation will continue to see our Democracy (and our very rights) decline. Corporations aren't "friends", they are "tools" or "machines". Machines (whether corporate or political) must be properly regulated (governed) to benefit the operator. Otherwise, the end effects of allowing things to go on unregulated is likely DISASTER.

We've seen enough in the last 12 or so years (plus history), to know what I'm saying is reasonably correct. And personally, I'm not FOR anyone or any politician who chimes on about how important the well-being of corporations apparently must be... while saying virtually/practically NOTHING about what will be done for the working middle-class and poor in America. I want NOTHING to do with them and will work AGAINST those (like Etch-A-Sketch Romney and Paul Ryan) who want nothing more than to promote the well-being of the wealthy (who PAY them).

 

MONEY has corrupted them.

 

I accept you are opinion, but how he is getting more popular in the public ?

 

We need to tell israel and aipac to (*)(*)(*)(*) off, but it seems no one in the government wants to do that.

 

Honor, Honesty, Humility, Integrity, Altruism, and Courage are all attributes lacking in our malignant narcissist in chief.

A great leader is a great man first.

 

Right. On!

 

Which politician is having this qualities ?

 

We still haven't found a way to circumvent one of those problems that always plagues mankind -- power goes to those that seek it, not those that need it.

 

Very nice!

 

Then you're basically screwed. You made "the dollar" king. You said that only the dollar means something, that honor and honesty can be bought and sold, just like any commodity. I think there's no way back for you.

 

And your processes allow it. End political donations now. Even that won't work. When you have an American guy, who's prepared to earn a businessman from South America a shed load of money by screwing over his fellow American's, and then be the GOP nominee and this not be a problem for him, you have a serious problem.

 

The issue is that people are tunnel visioned, if the only options are Rep and Dem then that becomes the fatalistic logical conclusion. People tend to leave thinking to those of us who happen to be leaders,thinkers or ambitious and thus it has always been. Things do get done only not as the general public may desire, I say that is acceptable to a large extent, if the common person is allowed to directly run the government then how is society to be ordered? Objectivity is for the non conformist, leaders are in the minority because people have to be led, people place blame out of ignorance hoping perhaps that by their negativity they can belittle the object of their scorn, this is a conceit, an unconscious admission to fatalism and learned helplessness, why are we in this situation? Just human nature.
