Staying in Power: A Public Leader’s Priority

A public leader’s power depends on how effective he is in his position and whether he can maintain the public’s trust. Maintaining the public’s trust means understanding priorities, knowing how to solve problems, and knowing what to say to achieve an ultimate goal that serves the public. These should be the priorities for a public leader. There is, however, a priority less discussed but understood to be of high importance. Staying in power has to be a public leader’s first priority, make no mistake. A German proverb says, “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” There was once a curious case—Gallienus, an emperor of Rome during AD 260–268. Emperor Gallienus was a jack of all trades but, alas, a master of none. He was a man of great and varied passions, but because of these, he lacked focus, discipline, and clear priorities to effectively function as an emperor. Gallienus was a genius who tried every art and every science—from poetry and oration to gardening and cooking. Though he made great contributions to the history of Rome, he was murdered and betrayed by his senior officers, a sign that his country was suffering unrest even though this should have been a time of general peace. What Gallienus failed to do was keep his eye on his main goal—ruling effectively and, more importantly, protecting his power and his vested interest in his office. His many activities pulled him away from war planning and good governance. His mistake was that he failed to protect himself. There are many cases similar to Gallienus’s. Many public leaders have lost an office or their power due to a shift in focus, power, or alliance. The real public servant has heart for true service, but he only stays in power if he protects himself first and foremost before serving anybody else’s needs. Nobel Prize winner John R. Mott reminds us that “in any work abounding in pressing needs and great opportunities, we must make a study of priorities. We must plan the use of our time.  No man can do: (a) all the good that needs to be done; (b) all that others want him to do; (c) all that he himself wants to do.” Read the full article
