The assignment instruction: search three good Leaders and three bad leaders. State the reason/reasons why you think they are bad. The unethical and ethical things they do.
Below is two I wrote about already. The professor said that it’s ok to use the two down below.
Please add to the two unethical leaders.
The first unethical leader from my standpoint is the Liberian former president Charles Taylor. He was first the leader of a rebel group who dismantled the country and stole power to become president. While he was the president, he disregarded human rights law, he took away everyone civil rights that no one had the right to speak freely. He empowered his children and followers especially his son to infringe on everyone’s freedom. The former president embezzled the country money, send his contacts abroad and various outsource accounts were set up in others name while the Liberia population suffered starvation while the few hierarchies enjoyed the country’s wealth. I find former president Taylor to have been a charismatic leader because of the conviction and commitment to his cause not the cause of everyone. His cause was to rule human beings like a dictator/or ruler. I feel like he was charismatic to him and his followers unlike Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa among others.
The second is number forty-five of the United States of America. Donald J Trump. His unethical behavior ranches from lying, disregarding human beings but only his own and up to be a racist and a bigot. He is the president of the free world that everyone in the country is supposed to be looking up to including the world around us. He disregards everyone else but himself. President Trump is an authoritarian leader who wants to have control over all decisions and little input from his group members around him. If you speak up frequently in truth, Autocratic leaders typically make choices based on their ideas and judgments and rarely accept advice from followers. While those who rely on this approach to heavily are often seen as bossy or dictator-like Trump fires you as a group member. Like other leadership styles, autocratic leaders autocratic has some weaknesses and those weaknesses are found in Trump if Trump is criticized for the right things, he finds a way to bully his followers or surroundings who do what they think is ethical.
