Why People Choose Incompetent Leaders

I think I would acknowledge the problem but give different reasons as to why people choose incompetent leaders. I think it’s because people choose who they like and they like those who make them feel most comfortable. Intellectual people make people uncomfortable and stir up a host of insecurities, and so they are the least liked among leaders. We often want to associate good leadership skills to those who make us feel comfortable and bad leadership skills to those who make us feel uncomfortable. Ironically, it would be the opposite, as a true leader causes discomfort in a person so that it becomes a catalyst for change. But that is not how most people choose their leaders which, ironically, means they choose leaders contrary to their often theoretical goals to change and become better.
