Capitolism

Paul Johnson and Bill George both lament the state of leadership across the past decade. Mr. George deals exclusively with the failings of business leaders. Mr. Johnson examines leaders in several fields — politics, law, religion and business. Neither author addresses military leadership. Do they exclude military leadership because the military has enjoyed a decade of effective leadership, in their opinions?

Both articles observe a trend, but neither offers a root cause or a solution. Perhaps I will take a stab at one or both of those topics soon.
