Ben Rader's Response

I chose this video because it is an exaggerated example of incompetent leadership. Phil Davison is doing a few things to make an absolute lunatic of himself. First of all, he is making the race for the Stark County Treasury Republican Nomination seem like it is the race for control over the entire world. Secondly, he claims to have a degree in communication, but is instead screaming at people without a logical flow. His attempts at connecting with his audience go as far as making up an audience member and pretending they finished one of his sentences. The excess he takes in this clip is so excessive that it is comical. He is clearly a great example of an incompetent leader. If he was to win in this race it is clear that his term may not be the most successful. He is far too self-confident, thinking that he has all the answers. He thinks that he can dominate the political atmosphere in a “winner take all” attitude. He also seems to say that he is one with the Republican Party and is not separating his own personal beliefs from that of the political party. While Davidson does not have power yet, assuming he was to win the election, it seems as though he would go ahead and follow with the 7 habits of spectacularly unsuccessful people. Most of all, Phil Davison is a bad leader because he is an absolute nut job that is unable to communicate with people on the most basic level.
