○Organizations and Leaders [6]

     Then, assuming that the organization doesn't collapse luckily and the boss leaves the organization after twists and turns, the problem doesn't end there. If someone among the underlings, who have similar strong egos as the previous boss, becomes the new boss and takes a position of influence, the same thing will be repeated. Even if the serious members point out the past mistakes of the underlings at this time, the underlings will not admit them and will blame everything on the previous boss. In other words, people with strong egos always blame others, repeat the same thing, and do not grow. And it's taken for granted that afterwards, they will have more shares or receive special treatment just for themselves. Thus, the negative chain continues.

    To break this chain, it is necessary to completely renew the members with strong egos. However, as these underlings are driven by strong desires, they often are types who work with great enthusiasm, and their influence is large both internally and externally. Therefore, renewing these underlings can be challenging unless the next boss is sincere, has the ability and determination, and is brave enough not to fear being resented by the underlings. In other words, before this happens, when choosing a boss, it is necessary to discern whether that person has a strong ego and strive to choose someone sincere. For better or worse, the impact eventually comes back to everyone in the organization. And to rebuild that organization requires a tremendous amount of energy.

    In a world where citizens worldwide lack the perspective of choosing a leader with no internal conflict, individuals with strong desires are likely to become leaders. In the case of an open election, everyone has the right to become a leader. This is not a fair mechanism where anyone can become a leader depending on their efforts, but a system in which the greedy can mix with the candidates, making it difficult for voters to distinguish. Therefore, there is a possibility that individuals with strong egos can become leaders. When such a self-centered person becomes a leader, their ego fears losing, advocates the militarization of their own country, and insists that it also acts as a deterrent. However, if there are self-centered leaders in other countries, they share the same fear and begin to increase their armaments. Thus, a peaceful society never arrives in such a continuous cycle.
