Some Personal Philosophies
LIFE-There's only three types of people in the world.. Those you love, those you ignore and those you'd sacrifice.
-Admire those you hold dear, acknowledge the rest.
LEADERSHIP
-No one gives a shit about what you're against if you personify it.
-It is a lack of empathy that makes a bad person a great leader.
SPORTSMANSHIP
-It is more noble to humbly acknowledge defeat than to arrogantly boast victory.
-The defeated must revere the victorious, if not, there's no true victory.

But I do think lack of empathy makes more justice be served more so than make a great leader.
Now rethinking my own thought/sentence there, kind of makes you right
which means I need to go away for awhile now and think about that one, because it can't be right that lack of empathy does result in great leadership.....
In other words, even if forced, in order to decide the fates of others, you must lack in empathy. In order to make rational decisions, you must lack empathy. In order to inact justice, you must lack empathy. Empathy just gets in the way and will do nothing but complicate every decision to the point that either leadership will be lost because the leader appears weak or emotional instability via empathy will destroy the leader.
I suppose it depends on the way you view it.
If you see great leadership does not coincide with great " cause" you are right....
but if your view is it does, your wrong.
In your last post, though I might understand where you're coming from and why I can't agree with empathy gets in the way... sometimes maybe, but not always .. but surely a great leader will know or should I say decided, when to and when not to.
Leaders must be able to comprehend, how else be able to make the right decision when faced with difficult ones... what I think is a challenge for one with empathy, is a cowards way out for the one with none.
Might I also add, it is not a bad thing to shelve people..
unless of course you do so on a sinking ship " now that would be wrong" now having said that ..someone could argue why its a good thing we should.
Think any leader you've ever heard of and tell me, if they were as empathetic as the common man then how could they do their job without emotional breakdowns?
