Politics, the area of shit - a common people mindset over it. Even many businessmen and little intellectuals are agree with this statement (even its true too), there are many qualities a politician should develop to survive in this shit to get his power. If he loses power, he has to live in this shit. So, his mental immunity should be great to have a sight on his vision clearly. And also there is a huge competition, he is in a compulsion to develop himself to the best. Thats why a good politician is a good role model too!
Qualities of a good politician, can also be followed by common people
1. He should be narcissistic but not to the core!
Narcissism, even though its an ideology of right wing politics, is a necessary quality of a politician. It should be practiced by a common man because its the first way (from my point of view) which leads to a term called "personal branding". Personal branding is very necessary quality as it elevates our good qualities and hides our bad qualities. Ofcourse, a good man changes, learns on due course of time but the society didn't accept and even critics the particular man about their past. So its a necessary quality of a man who needs to excel in life without any criticism. Its extended version is "personal branding"
2. He should have an ahead thinking!
Usually politicians should think ahead of times, to secure the state from disasters and threats. But, being practical, they are having intelligence bureau and police to update them. Its impossible to get those for us. But we can develop that by reading currect affairs, histories and talking with journalists and experts in our field and journals of our niche. It make us to create a solution for problem which may create in future times.
3. He should build his image truely
Building image of ourself (personal branding- highlighting of our strengths and capability and makes us to look updated) is necessary. Making ourself to loom rich too needed as this society respects those who with money. Even Chanakya says, "non-poisonous snakes too project as poisonous to protect themselves from predators". So, building image of ourselves is necessary.
4. He should have enough self-dignity and self-respect!
Self dignity and self respect elevates our existing value. It makes others to give respect ourself and makes us to treat in a good way, which boosts ourself to do even a greater work, eventually leads to give a better results of our work. And also makes feel ourself satisfied too. This what our legend "Periyar - EV Ramasamy Naicker said too!
5. He should know how to handle press/media (public- in general)
We have many secrets which we can't/shouldn't utter in a public. It may affect our personal life as many critic/comment on that and difficult to erase from public mind. So one should be clear when meeting any people in public place. Let it be relatives who torture us by asking our marks, next move, job or marriage which is literally intruding our personal life. We cant ignore them or reply them harshly. This can be learnt from a politician who handle press like an expert.
Let me give an example on Kalignar Karunanithi, who has to answer for the question raised by Jaya TV reporter saying "Is Prabhakaran alive or not?", for that Mr. Karunanithi says, there is no end for a soldier who fights for the society.
6.Knows to maintain a secret
Usually politicians should maintain secret when they came to power. A Chief minister or any minister should maintain secret of security related or threat to the state. Likewise we should not utter weaknesses or dark areas (fights or cracks of our family) to others indirectly or directly to others
8. He should have guts to face any issue
Being prepared to every situation is good but impossible. Some situation may occur suddenly. We should have guts to face any situation and be firm with the decisions made. As Vijay said, he wont change his decision when he made once by himself (ஒரு தடவ முடிவு பண்ணிட்டா, என் பேச்ச நானே கேட்கமாட்டேன்)
9. He should get opinion from others (being democratic)
Not everyone is expert in all field. We have to get opinion on a particular topic from many people, have to be so curious to know about the topic 360°. It is possible to ask people from various fields.
10. He should be updated
Updated version of ourself isn't meant we have to wear a trendy accessories and designer dresses. Its upto a level, only models will concentrate over that. Knowing current affairs, recent research on our field, political situation, what people need in recent days from us are the updation we have to do. It also makes us to look attractive too!
11. He should have the "Position Hysteria"!
We have to be ambitious over our aim, because that only gives us a real pleasure too and make us to work hard and give our best results. And we should not make others to get our place as its the basic for survival instinct. So being obsessed to our position isnt bad. If they (society) thinks like that, we have to divert their view from that
12. He should know to hide mistakes he have done
Everyone makes mistake, its human tendency to do it. Also we have to follow certain dark plans, which society (stereotyped guys) wont accept it and speak at the back. We have to handle those critics and hide it subtly from others and brighten his strengths. This is a necessary thing to do.
13. Be with people
Being with people makes us attractive and many believe what we say too. For example, there are two shops, one with full of crowd and other with very few people. We will choose shop with crowded as many people liked it. In psychology, its mentioned as social recognition. So engage time with people (as what politicians do)
14. Practical thinker!
Being practical is a strength of a politician or a successful men. Practical goal only will leads to success and strategies too needs to be practical. If we are not practical, failure surrounds us which affect us mentally and makes us frustated and our family environment will become worse. Our relationship too become toxic and totally our life becomes vain
15. Self first; others next!
Selfish means building up ourself to the best. Which eventually affect our activities in a positive way. They uplift our value and quality which is most necessary in the field of business. And also this makes ourself self satisfied and mentally makes to feel good
16. Make everything as profitable!
Money is the ultimate need for everyone, even the rich wants to make more money.Being profitable (any organization) is more stable and long lasting. So make whatever your desire/passion/hobby into profitable. This, not only politicians also businessmen captures this.
Politicians use cheap strategies to attain power which we should not follow. Its not only morally wrong and also affects many people badly. It may cause guilt feel in weak minded people too
1. Should follow his words
Many politicians give fake promises and after getting power they forget about that. Which makes others to hate those guys
2 He should be trust worthy
Politicians wont make their promise into true, which reduces their accountability and reduces their trust worthy.
