They usually start out in there careers with an education in Law or Political Science. This is not to say that a person must be a lawyer in order to be a politician; however, it is a fact that almost all of our elected politicians do have legal backgrounds.\nWhat else do they do to get there? \nGees fella, I am afraid that the list is long and at times shady; however, there are many senators, governors and presidents that are beyond reproach.  \nTake care of your 'right to vote.'  Make sure that a crook does not get 'in.'  Jose

~Learn self-confidence, practice public speaking in front of a mirror.\nCirculate and make friends.  Learn the issues and prepare a platform that you want to stand for and stick to your principles.  Do the research you need to support your positions.  Let people know you are honest and sincere and have integrity.\n\nWhen you've wasted enough time realizing none of this is going to work, learn how to spread your legs and go after the boys' votes.

They like power. They like being at the top of society. But, it also has to do with the fact that these nations have very limited histories in democracy. Democracy is a journey, NOT a destination.

Brute intimidation only works as long as you can stay top dog.  But rest assured, too much of that, and the natives get restless and boot your sorry a$$ when they get the chance.\nA good leader must lead, whether he is popular or not, but work for the common good of his people or his company.\nSo in effect, the best leaders use both qualities to the best advantage depending on the situation to be tackled.

Most start out with good intentions but lose sight of why they became public servants.\n\nLobbyists are a major part of the problem.  Temptation is devious and deceptive and we often find ourselves victim to it without remembering how it happened.

Trust....it boils down to trust.  Obviously not everyone in a society will and can know as much as the leaders do, and many will know more.\n\nSo, it boils down to trust.  Do you trust those who lead?  Are you confident of them?\n\n Do you have faith that they are looking out for your best interests as well as those of everyone in your Country EQUALLY, and not out just to line the pockets of their own kind without regard to the long term?\n\nLast time I checked, leaders are mortals too, flawed and imbibed with similar character flaws and strength that the rest of us have, so it boils down to trust.

The person who becomes the President is an ordinary human being. He/she is fallible and often unsure.  \nThe head of a country can't let that show. They must present to the country what the people expect of a leader. Confidence, authority, an aura of always being in control. \nThey must learn lines (speeches, responses, etc) like an actor and deliver them as a larger than life character "The President"\n\nActing is just an ordinary person assuming a role and being convincing in that role. Same with The President. He must act the part.\n\nHope that made sense :-)
