Socrates for President

[Narukami]

The best leader whatever the title is one who has to dragged kicking and screaming to the office and tries to leave office as soon as possible without destroying the country in the process.

Historical examples:

Claudius whatever his personal habits he was a good administrator

George Washington

Anyone think of anyone else? Anyone with enough ambition to be
the leader of a country generally has too much ambition to be a good one.

Is not Cincinnatus the most famous example of one who accepted office reluctantly, performed brilliantly, and then departed happily back to private life. A truly Noble Roman.

We should all be so lucky to have such leaders.

There is an old Chinese say:

A leader is best who, when the task is completed, his followers say "We did this ourselves."

Invisible leadership.
