Blame the Leader
I sat with org mate, Ate S, on our bus ride back to Manila. It was early morning in Baguio, and the air conditioning kept on wheezing and puffing. The seats were a bit grimy, the spaces, constrained. I was wondering why I was leaving Baguio at such an early hour, since I haven't gone to Lourdes Grotto ever, not that I wanted to kneel down and pray. It's just that, the whole Baguio thing would have been better. Much better.
Because we wanted to be relevant, I asked Ate S what was it in leadership that got her to the whole let's-be-responisble drama. I told her about how I hated leadership roles way back in high school, simply because to be a leader then, I had no choice but to impose upon uncooperative vermins of the earth. I always felt that leadership bordered on tyranny, and I hate the feeling of too much power.
I hate the sense of elevation that leadership brings.
Ate S, though, talked about leadership in another way. I had often heard her say those things, during small org talks over pancit bilaos, and on other forgotten conversations at the tambayan. She had always believed that leadership wasn't about influence. That it wasn't about how stiff you enforce, or impose, or dominate or all the dim synonyms you can think of.
She thinks leadership is about inspiring people. It's about paving the way, not spanking the horse's ass to run to the right direction or to gallop a little faster. It's about making them do things, because you're so good at it that it shames others not to even try. I admire Ate S for that, I've always been fascinated by people like her.
But when I contemplated about the 'challenge' of leadership, I realized it was the same thing I have been running away from for years now. I didn't like the challenge because it lures. I didn't like the challenge because it becomes an excuse to do things, it becomes a justification, it becomes a validation of power acquisition.
I praise leaders like Ate S, who look at leading as something parallel to inspiring.
On the other hand, I fear and I loathe leaders who make leadership an excuse to boss people around, who make it a license for them to talk, and gawk, and blabber about stuff.
I hate the scums of the earth who think being a leader means being right all the time. Honestly.

PS
On the blame game.
I realized it's so easy to blame people if:
1) you don't know them
2) you think you know you know them
3) you just want to feel in control
Must be so hard to assertively point the finger, especially if you know that it means you do not have any emotional investment to lose, or any personal relationship to ruin.
