The Leader and his Henchmen

Part One
More powerful the leader, less secure he feels. In choosing his circle, he chooses those who will least threaten him, who will best advance his agenda, who will secure his position. He chooses weak men and henchmen.

Part Two
The weaker the man, the more compromised he is, the more dependent he is on the leader. The more unscrupulous the henchmen, the more ruthless he will be on the leader's behalf. Weakness, vulnerability, unscrupulousness become qualifications.

Part Three
Henchmen will then create an artificial crisis. They will make the leader believe that b'coz of this crisis, his leadership comes under crisis. Once leader starts feeling insecure, henchmen offer their service. Henchmen, grabbing opportunity, project themselves as the ultimate saviours.

Part Final
Insecure Leader, anxious to keep the leadership intact, believes in the artificial controversy. Leader relies upon his henchmen. Henchmen raise their authority. Henchmen take control of leadership. Hence, every individual is bypassed, decision taken, henchmen starts ruling.
