The need for leadership is huge today. The supply of potential leaders is huge and growing. Thus we may need to heed the warning to "mind the gap" between a leader and a poser [see photo]. This gap is dangerous if you fall into it. Posers are everywhere but leaders are rare. Leaders today too often rely upon an institutional position [with its false status] to gloss over their incompetence. And all this has produced an endemic of incompetent leaders.
Of course it is our fault that we lack leaders. We seem to be way too willing to follow anyone who finds his or her way to the head of the mob. Clearly the proliferation of the Internet has spurred on this phenomenon. The mob who are most vocal on the Internet are quick to applaud "attention seekers" and so they anoint them as thought leaders. These "thought leader" then preach their mantras to us all on platforms ranging from local streets to the UN Assembly hall in New York, New York. Add a little fear to spice up your mantra and you are likely to become a leader of significance on the Internet and in real life on the streets. Of course money and power flows quickly to those who have curated a popular message. With money and power comes the status needed to be a community, national, and global leader.
Here is the rub..... We live in a world of collectives that spread from China to Europe and onto the Americas. But. The leaders of these collective movements are often not actually in control of the events that surround them. Such leaders often merely follow the latest fads that bubble-up within the mob they front. This reality suggests we are stuck in a mindless leadership model.
