○First and foremost, it is necessary to recommend individuals who possess integrity, followed by competence [3]

     In contrast, in a monetary society, whether in politics or corporations, the drive for acquisition and survival underlies many aspects, leading to a higher proportion of ambitious individuals, particularly men, occupying leadership positions. However, individuals who seek to overpower others often generate resentment and jealousy, leading to an increase in enemies. In such a context, a peaceful society becomes difficult to establish. In Prout Village, peaceful leaders without internal conflicts are essential. Selecting leaders based on the notion that men are physically strong and possess high attack power and, therefore, are reliable in times of crisis may result in that aggression being directed back towards the community, hindering the establishment of a peaceful society.

    In this way, in the recommendation elections within the community, the primary priority is to choose leaders based on "sincerity." A peaceful and stable society is created from the inner qualities of its individuals. Only those individuals who possess inner tranquility can achieve this. Under the influence of individuals driven by desires, unequal judgments, corruption, factional disputes, and bullying may arise.

    However, in the case of individuals who are sincere but lack the capabilities or competence to be leaders, they may be viewed as merely kind individuals by those who are egoistic and aggressive. Therefore, when multiple sincere individuals are present, it is important to consider whether they have already achieved something or possess competence and success. For example, they may have already delivered results as leaders within an organization or have acquired professional-level skills and knowledge individually. Individuals with successful experiences have accumulated a certain level of expertise, enabling them to visualize the path to success and guide the organization towards success more effectively. In other words, when both sincerity and competence are present, it becomes easier to gain understanding and support from a wide range of people.

    If there is someone who has achieved success, possesses competence, and is capable of performing well in their work but lacks sincerity, it is not advisable to recommend them as a leader based on the assumption that they may become a good leader in the future. The reason is that leaders lacking sincerity often fail to empathize with individuals who are less capable, look down on them, and engage in one-sided attacks, creating a negative atmosphere within the organization. Personal growth in terms of character takes time and rarely improves significantly over a lifetime. Moreover, they prioritize their own interests and do not consider the greater good. Without sincerity as the fundamental premise and competence as the next consideration, an organization cannot become peaceful or successful.
