MORE THAN A MONARCH - John A Halford & Leon Sexton - July-August 1984

John A Halford & Leon Sexton

In a world where leaders often falter, Thailand's King and Queen show there is another way to reign. What is the mark of greatness that should distinguish world leaders today? Most heads of state are well educated, hard-working men and women who desire to use their positions of authority to improve the lives of their people. But heads of state must also live with a political atmosphere of competition, envy, intrigue and petty jealousies. To often they must contend with small-minded, self-seeking subordinates who share their power, but not their dreams. Often they face pointed criticism and ridicule from the media, knowing that a small mistake, a slip of the tongue, or a well-intentioned but misguided policy will be seized upon as evidence of corruption and incompetence. For some, the price of failure is exile, imprisonment or the assassin's bullet. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
