F. González: The Art of Governing the Public Space
After I left the government, which I led for 14 years, many people have asked me what leadership consists of. I do not know one political figure who studied leadership before becoming president. How do you study to become president of a country? You analyze situations to give leadership according to the context.
F. González: El arte de gobernar el espacio público
La política es el arte de gobernar el espacio público que compartimos –ya sea la ciudad, la nación, o la región. Los líderes que ganan la mayoría de los votos tienen que gobernar la pluralidad de ideas. La gente de Latinoamérica y el Caribe es capaz de establecer toda clase de partidos políticos, aunque todos sus miembros quepan en un solo taxi. Pero necesitamos gobernar para aquellos que votaron por nosotros tanto como para quienes no lo hicieron. Polarizar el país, haciendo que el equipo A pelee contra el equipo B es traicionar el liderazgo moral.
