Is being able to work well with others a prerequisite for a successful leader? (Original Post)

(62,444 posts)1. I guess it depends on whether you are looking to be "led"
One of the things that strikes me as odd is the contrast between the way the US government is organized to function, and the way that candidates for office campaign for support.
You have these people running for collaborative bodies of 100 and 435 members, going on about their "leadership" capabilities.
In order for anything to happen in the US government, the cooperation of a bunch of people is required. Otherwise, you just have a bunch of "leaders".
Is Kim Jong-Un a "successful leader"? Well, he sure gets a lot of following done by everyone else. I don't know if he works well with others, but by any measure of "does he get people to follow his lead", then I guess he is "successful".
When did the US become a country which requires, or even wants, a "leader" instead of a government that reasonably manages the functions which we all decide we want the government to perform?
