Have you ever worked with Bosses - who are lack the needed technical skills, have no leadership skills, and are also of a toxic nature with very high levels of emotional insecurity BUT they think they are the best?

Many of you would have had the bad luck of working with such bosses at least once in your life.

You may also find most of those bosses are Male – as per the various research - around 75% of people quit their jobs because of their immediate bosses.

Because men are typically more disillusioned about their talents because of having Dunning-Kruger Delusion effect [much more than women] and as a result tend to overestimate their abilities – read my blog - 75 Proven Tips to Stop Overestimating Your Abilities & Intelligence to Avoid Dunning-Kruger Delusion.

Many male top leaders have perfected the art of making others believe that they are better than WHO they really are.

Globally - women in top leadership positions are very few in comparison to males.

It is unbelievable to notice a staggeringly large number of incompetent people - who are in the Top leadership positions – at Global levels – especially in the political arena.

In Politics – in many countries including India & USA, inherently incompetent and at times psychologically disturbed leaders in the topmost positions - are frequently causing colossal and irreversible and irreparable damages – to humans, to the communities, to the environment, to their countries, etc., etc. [ you have only to read newspapers to verify this fact].

Incredibly in the corporate world too - if you look closely– you will find many incompetent people occupying top leadership positions.

Political considerations may also play roles in placing incompetent people in leadership positions.

Politics is always a factor whether in business organizational level or the national stage.

A quiet leadership style is often overlooked as people fall for false bravado, narcissism and nepotism. There is a very very large pool of talented & competent people available and visible with a proven track record – who unfortunately get sidelined.

The major factor why incompetent and psychologically disturbed people become & remain leaders at highest levels – is because of the larger numbers of Compulsive believers or Andha-Bhakts/Andhabhakts/Andh-Bhakts [at least in the political world].

And most of the population of the Ch***/Ch**** public of compulsive believers put the Compulsive liars on pedestal – Hero Worship these incompetent Compulsive liars as if they are Gods and give them unlimited power.

This largest and most significant chunk of - sub ordinary-average people get seduced by traits that these incompetent leaders possess in plenty.

On the other hand - the incompetents' leaders use the various tools like - creating fake news, use grandstanding, use propaganda, use Cockwombleness, projections, hypocrisy – to build the Halo Effect around themselves & also to hold the power.

They are ably supported by the unscrupulous bureaucrats and a special category of compulsive believers in India who have qualifications from elite institutions and have social as well as professional positions AND who support these criminally insane incompetent moron political leaders.

Education without values makes a vile person an evil monster – that is the case of this group mentioned above.

And then we have the Indian New Media who are controlled by the cronies, and they do all of these very loyally and perfectly – that is to justify their being a GOTALABES [an acronym for people who – Give-Oral, Take-Anal, Lick-Ass/Balls, Eat-Shit – category people].

Why competent and talented people don't get this advantage – one reason is that intelligent people have less friends AND because they challenge and question the mass perceptions and unscientific beliefs they get mocked by the masses.

Secondly the masses who have poor and below-average intelligence, Low-ability, low-competence, poor-education, poor-skilled – feel threatened by the real intelligent ones BUT they don't see their expertise.

Indians have this amazing ability to abuse and see our own suffering BUT do nothing about it – except going for religious journeys, participating for unrest and violence for reservation and expecting miracles - Will we ever wake up – very-very difficult to imagine this happening in near future.

Does this look like a sound foundation for a developed nation – not by any positive, empowering, and sustainable growth-oriented parameters?

Only when this category of public wakes up and courageously acknowledge the real challenges involving poor institutions, poor work ethic, corruption of all kinds, and inequality, nexus between - the criminal, the criminally insane politicians, greedy and power hungry bureaucrats, the hydra-monster type business-people with monstrous appetite of accumulating more and more wealth by any means infinitely & the Godmen/God-Women/Celebrity Gurus/BABAs PLUS other religious centers of power.

Incompetent leaders will always create low levels of engagement, trust and productivity and high levels of burnout and stress along with many other serious side effects – both in the nation as well as in Business Organizations.

17 Methods, Tools, Means & Things That - The Incompetent Leaders at Powerful Positions Use To Hook Their Followers

1.Fake Claims of grandiose accomplishments - without any basis
2. Taking credit for the accomplishments and efforts of others
3. Discrediting the positives of others
4. Using religion and false pride about something which cannot be verified and ARE their own constructions
5. Doing all the wrong things themselves AND accusing others of the doing it [although it is clearly checkable BUT the compulsive believers believe their Demi-God Heroes]
6. When their bag of tricks doesn't work – playing victim or helpless
7. Using all the power to suppress the truth and facts
8. Silencing the critics or all those who oppose
9. Lie-Lie-Lie – all the time – to not only make it look like truth BUT also to confuse others in discerning between what is the fact and what is the lie
10.Creating and living a lifestyle using exchequer's money – of course – to impress the Andhabhakts the Blind Followers – who buy it without questioning
11.Telling stories [their imagination/hallucinations/ illusions/delusions] - to project themselves as Powerful Charismatic God-Like person
12.Whitewashing or hiding all their blunders and massive mistakes [which are countless]
13. Controlling the power – by all the means & ways available and at their disposal
14. Helping their cronies becoming richer – by allowing them to loot & defraud the exchequers and common public
15. Using all dirty tricks – including – religion, criminals and agencies TO suppress, oppress and control any opposition
16. Most of the privileged elites have built their positions with favor and manipulation of some kind, and continue to prioritize themselves at the cost of others
17. Most of these elites [all of them meaning – politicians, bureaucrats & businessmen] know no limits to how much they want to amass for themselves.

19 Reasons Why People Fall For All These Incompetent Leaders – How A Large Mass Of People Become Gullible, Naïve, And Susceptible

1.Continuous Bombardment of all the Propaganda, the Fake News on the Main Social Media – which is the major time-pass and self-education TOOLS for the Compulsive-Believers, the Andhabhakts, and the Blind Followers
2. Artificial intelligence has given a very powerful tool to these Media-persons, One Cent Troll-Army, Propaganda & Fake News Makers – they use all these tools to create visuals, audios, videos and images and even texts – that seems almost real UNLESS Fact-Checked through most reliable sources
3. Tools like WhatsApp, Telegram and such – which helps these Andhabhakts the Blind Followers – forward and make any Propaganda, the Fake News – VIRAL
4. Indian New Media which almost 100% controlled by the Cronies – which hides the truth and show only that benefits these people
5. The poor or lack of education, lack of awareness, lack of intelligence to question anything that see or hear – FOR almost 70%+ people
6. A social thinking trap – which makes the aforesaid group equate – the Narcissistic Behaviors, Loud Voice, Shouting, Abusing, and Show-off– WITH CONFIDENCE, COURAGE & POWER
7. Their lack of knowledge making them accept whatever is doled out to them – High Sensex level and having few of the richest super rich and GDP [which mostly based on these 1%'s wealth] - or being world's 5th largest economy [when 60%+ are below poverty-line with one of lowest per capita income] - is not development
8. Lack of value education – making the masses accept and feel good when only 1% become richer from their efforts and taxes [2-3 become one of the richest in the world without adding any value to the country and employment and economy JUST FILLING THEIR Off-Shore Bank-Accounts by duping the public]
9. Because many of the population themselves are of poor and below-average intelligence, low Low-ability, low competence, low education, and poor-skilled – they lack the ability to detect incompetence of others and may trust social media more
10. Natural laziness [to fact-check & very] and expectations of miracle – of the people with poor and below-average intelligence, Low-ability, low-competence, poor-education, poor-skilled – to make them go for hero-worship of social media and news media created Halo-Effect
11. Then Indians are one of the best SHEEP Mindset – they just follow those whom a large mass is following
12. They might have no meaningful occupation, employment and engagement AND then they fall prey to these TOXIC forces
13. Believe in Myths and Mystical Godmen/God-Women/Celebrity-Gurus/Babas & Existence of God/Goddess - When I was a kid growing up in a small town with mostly rural mentality and low-education people. Then there was a movie on one India Goddess was released and you would find people throwing coins to show their worship – I along with few of my friends used to buy the cheapest tickets to collect coins for personal expenses
14. Most of these 60%+ people are struggling for their survival – and don't have energy, time, resources or capabilities to look beyond trying to live day to day and as a result don't have any will, intent or wherewithal
15. Failed Indian Education Systems – most of the people of middle class with basic OR higher are too occupied and concerned with themselves AND serving their Masters who are the 1% privileged elites to earn and manage their luxuries – this middle class has the aspirations to be among elites somehow & someday
16. When people who are less educated see someone whom they admire supporting some cult or ethos or philosophy – they also start supporting them
17. People those are in power ensure discouraging education, transparency and release of truth, facts and data
18. Incompetent People with grandiose megalomaniac & narcissistic visions trap gullible people
19. People with fake confidence can fool the masses even by magical and totally false sounding claims

16. Create a culture where women naturally get equal say and opportunity to showcase in case, they are talented
