○Organizations and Leaders [2]

     A leader with a strong ego and greed can be called a liar, a thief, and a fraud.

    Even if the number of enemies around increases and their position becomes unfavorable, those with a strong ego do not change their bullish attitude. They repeat the methods they've used so far to intimidate others. To the ego, faltering means losing. Even so, when their position becomes precarious, they often make concessions to the opponent or run away.

    Whether in a large entity like a country or a small group of friends, those with a strong ego rule over people with fear.

    The ego fears getting hurt, so leaders with a strong ego are always afraid of someone rebelling against them. Therefore, they start thinking about how to monitor people. Then, people lose the atmosphere where they can freely express their opinions, and their lives become constrained. Eventually, the government changes the law, and those who express opposition to the government are arrested.

    From large organizations like countries to small local ones, when a person with a strong ego becomes a leader, the situation of the organization deteriorates and even when they are criticized by members, they don't easily relinquish their power. When criticism escalates and demonstrations begin, they feel their safety is in danger and flee. This could be abroad or to a nearby hiding place. However, they still maintain their position of power while on the run.

    When a greedy leader commits wrongdoing, and the organization's situation worsens as a result, someone from within the organization will try to rectify it. However, this leader sees this person as a threat that could topple him, and tries to fire him.

    A leader with a strong ego can easily lie. They make statements that give those around them hope for the future, but in the end, they don't follow through. For example, they may say they have no interest in power but try to maintain their influence by changing their position, or promise various reforms, which end up being merely superficial. In other words, they tell lies to get by.
