I fully agree with Kiron on the “Hostage Negotiation Specialist.” Abductions and Hijackings of different forms are common occurrences on large projects, and it takes the skills of a negotiator, politician, and strategist (among others) to bring everyone/everything home.

It should be a prerequired ability for public administration leaders!
I do not agree with your thougths for elected leaders.

As you can imagine other than have a clean criminal record and be a citizen of the country can not exist other restrictions otherwise we were segregating population segments. In a democracy anyone should be able to run to presidence ,and leave it to the people to decide who is best capable to perform the role.

For nominated leaders I totally agree with you.
