Chaos or calm. A good leader encourages calm/getting along. An ungood one thrives on chaos/divisiveness. What good comes from chaos?

    The good thing about chaos is that excellence gets a chance to rise to the top.

    That does not happen so often in an aristocratic or hieraical society.

    So a surfeit of order is just as bad as a surfeit of randomness.

    I disagree with thee JakobA. I see no good in chaos whatsoever. What rises to the top may not be excellence at all. Just detritus that is  lighter.  The heavy stuff sinks to the bottom like an anchor. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday.

    In the US, I believe it is called "free enterprise", and considered a very good thing. Even with the cost of robber Barons and floating turds.

  • Distraction I guess?
    If you're not sure that you know what you're doing as a leader then having disorder and chaos amongst your cabinet always Leaves open the door to blame them when things go wrong.

    Indeed. Diversion/distraction/denial/accusation/attack/insult/lies/conspiracy/collusion/treason. Frantic means by which the spotlight is switched to irrelevant meaningless drivel. Typical. Constant. Ceaseless. Endless. These days. When will it stop?   SIGH. Your guess is as good as mine. Thank you for your reply Truthseeker! :)

    It's nature's way of housecleaning.  It is the inevitable conclusion to mayhem and disorder.

    To court mayhem and disorder is asking to screw with Mother Nature and we know already that it is not nice to screw with MN.
