Being a leader in charge of public policy and its enforcement or really anything is an enormous responsibility; lots of real life examples of such leaders would be politicians, and as we all know a majority of them are fairly corrupt and power hungry. There are obviously those rare cases where someone embodies upon themselves the role of an administrator/CEO/Leader. When we run down applications we try to identify and pick out individuals who would satisfy that condition by observing not so much what they say, but how they say it.
If you wish to become an admin you have to write an application, you have to not only say the right things but say them in the right way. You have to embody honest and careful ideals, but more specifically the ideas of someone whose goal is to improve the lives of everyone around them.
I sometimes wonder what would happen if politicians were subjected to a similar application process before they could even run for an office; I dare say we would be significantly better off, but that is mere speculation.
