We often
lament the dearth of courageous leaders who take responsibility for their
errors, yet we as a community punish those who admit their faults.
In principle
we want accountable leaders; in practice we can only tolerate infallible role models.
If the
paradigm our leaders are working within demands their infallibility, then responsibility
becomes suicidal rather than admirable.
Perhaps what
society is missing is not capable leaders, but rather mature followers who are
ready to be led.
