Takes more than anger to lead and have a following

From the outset, it was apparent to me that President Obama has some things missing in his management approach. Beside the lack of executive experience, and independent from his excellent rhetorical skills, he is aloof. What do I mean by that?
Working for very smart people most of my life, I have seen this characteristic before. A person is so self confident and self reliant and has such vision that they believe they can see ahead farther than their followers; they know more too. So, while their followers are fretting, the self assured moves forward with great competence.
The trouble is, many people are left behind because they can’t keep pace. They fall out of synchronization with the leader. While the leader perceives that everything is on track, albeit with compromise that is expected, the following perceives something else because they are unprepared for deviation and compromise.
Everyone is seeking outcomes and results that in the case of President Obama are not materializing as expected. The gap is getting wider and the gulf deeper.
I anticipated that this would happen in my book, Smart Data because Dr. Rodger and I could see it coming.

Until the President and Congress get a level set on essential outcomes and communicate that with the American people, government will be out of step.

The government will be out of step so long as they pay themselves 250k+ a year. The house isnt much better at 175k+. The incentive is no longer the will of the people or whats best for the people. Its a bunch of bullshit. And the people who voted them in office are too stupid or dont give enough of a damn to see that.
The constituency has set themselves up for disappointment and dissatisfaction. Both are inherent in a bureaucratic capitalist society. Democracy is a slow lumbering beast, no more no less. You'd think they would have learned this by now.
