POTUS: What is Leadership?

What is leadership, one may ask, particularly about the state of leadership we have had in the United States of America for the last three years?  If one did not know the definition of this term, and instead looked to the presidency of #45 as an example, that individual may become vastly confused, internalizing a false perception of what a leader is.

 You may think, wait a minute, isn't the president of the United States of America, the greatest nation on earth, suppose to be an excellent leader?  You are right again, and he should be a great leader, but again the American people have been duped and marginalized with the direction of poor leadership.

The definition of a leader is one guides and directs people in a positive, uplifting, inspirational, and prosperous direction, while also being able to make difficult decisions as well, for the best welfare of all.

Great leaders can maintain their abilities to lead, despite the hardship they face, and the opposition that are behind those hardships, all while maintaining one's integrity.  The president of the United States should be equipped with the skill set of an arbitrator, which will enable him to make the proper decisions Congress, the nation, and the world presents him.

What we instead have in the position of POTUS is the complete opposite but, instead, pure arrogance, and failed leadership.  We have been taught, that proper preparation prevents piss poor performances in life, and the performance of our POTUS has been displayed as piss poor in his response to areas of natural disasters, and now a world pandemic.

Leaders ought to be pro-active, thinking ahead, planning in such a fashion that reactively measures are last resort and contingent plan when all else has failed.  Leaders are not trying to create solutions to problems in the midst or aftermath of the problem.  If prevention is better, then cure, why is our leadership, always looking for solutions to problems that could have been avoided?
