ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the merits of harmony and not of an unwavering monotone. One of the conditions for leadership is an experience as though something is broken and needs to be fixed, something lacking or burdensome or unjust or terrifying. Beyond episodes now and then of feeling as though something in particular is broken or not quite right, the author contends that human beings are in a sense radically broken. E. Voegelin referred to a quaternarian structure of being "God" implicates us as spiritual beings; "Man" implicates people as psychological beings; "World" implicates us as physical beings; and "Society" implicates us as social beings. These four dimensions encompass the troubles of a distinctly human life. If we are to trace the etiology of bad leadership, we might go back to find the extent to which the parties consider themselves and each other to be in attunement with that unseen order.
