Leadership and Accountability

By Sama Marwan,

The reluctance of political leaders to admit mistakes has become a focal point in U.S. political discourse.

At a recent town hall, Kamala Harris dodged a direct question about past errors, emphasizing her effort to understand complex issues instead.

Similarly, Donald Trump, when questioned about the Capitol riot, labeled it a “day of love” and avoided acknowledging any wrongdoing.

Experts note that such behaviors align with dominance-based leadership styles, where admitting faults is perceived as weakness.

However, prestige-oriented leaders who embrace vulnerability often gain public trust, highlighting a key debate about effective political leadership.
