Insecure Masters
As young as I am so far, I have seen this even at a young age when I had my membership in this international networking (multi-level marketing) company. The true nobles, the true leaders are NOT INSECURE. They have that air of confidence, that air of power they exude. You can sometimes feel it, whether it be a good or bad effect on you it depends on your self-esteem. Anyway, the people up above, noble or leader they may be, should learn that the real noble or leader is capable of handling and surrounding themselves with smart or smarter people. Remember, knowledge is knowledge, but it's different of handling the screws, the psychological makeup of each and every person in your circle.
Unfortunately, that is not usually the case. Most so-called leaders were promoted because of seniority, tenure, "company loyalty", politics (which isn't totally bad but usually done in a negative way), etc. Self-esteem cannot be bought. Self-esteem cannot be easily learned. Self-esteem cannot be acquired through politics and is only acquired usually at home where one grows. It is not taught in schools or even prestigious universities. The ironic part usually happens when someone who stands out, someone who is great in what they do is usually shot down by these idiots. Why idiots?
As arrogant, sarcastic and obnoxious as I sound, face the ugly truth: you should learn to make distinctions to see the character of the person and set aside their positions. Try to imagine that they are this and that in name only. See who they really are. As Major Winters in Band of Brothers said "We salute the man, not the rank". Learn to not be afraid of these people but learn how to manipulate them---IF they are worth the trouble. Remember, a real leader is someone who's able to gain their position in merit and in capability and is able to raise his people to power as well which in turn would ultimately reflect to his overall power. Insecure and incapable "leaders" on the other hand, will surround themselves with cronies, with subordinates who are also their friends and anyone who's willing to suck up to them while getting rid of the ones with potential and the power to ascend, fearing that they will overshadow them.
It's a shame, the truth hurts more than a lie. But isn't it better to known your own weaknesses no matter how shameful or humiliating it is and then improve than to put up a strong front denying all of it but reeking of pain inside you? For one to improve, one has to determine where they are currently standing, like the SWOT analysis.
