T rue leadership doesn’t come from being born with a silver spoon in your mouth. A true leader isn’t made when his dad pulls some strings and lands him a cushy job at the top of the org chart. How many genuinely competent aristocratic playboys have you met? These Princes are clueless and they have no actual leadership ability. The privileged son of a CEO did not earn his office and is not suited for it—regardless of what his $10,000 bespoke suit says.
Stop worshipping these friendly, well-dressed, well-groomed, empty shells. It’s just an illusion. All the privileged have is illusion. There is way more leadership potential in the poor than there could ever be in the top 1%. The poor and middle class have experienced actual hardship and challenges. The blue bloods that swell the upper ranks of corporations and governments had everything gifted to them—no work required.
Meritocracy is specifically designed to promote those who have true ability, not those with the richest parents. The public will see the rottenness of the current crop of leaders when Meritocracy is instituted, and those false leaders are eclipsed by the tremendous skill and tenacity of the meritorious.
