Changes in Leadership
Historically, most leaders rose to power by birth or a high level of charisma. Many leaders – good and bad – were known for their charismatic nature, including Adolf Hitler, Fidel Castro, John F. Kennedy, and Barack Obama.
However, charisma and birthright alone no longer give leaders full power to rule. Leaders now have checks and balances in place, forcing decision making into a more bureaucratic process. Also, as democratic countries must consider public opinion, rulers need to work at convincing the public to support their cause. As a result, leaders need additional assistance from experts to help them achieve their goals.
