D23Psych-Fitness-28 🙏 Reactive politics is exhausting for the public
Teaser
Day 23 of 28, Reactive politics is exhausting for the public: 2010–2013. Rudd and Gillard swapped the top job twice; voters then elected a third prime minister. Supported leaders can pause and choose wisely.
TLDR
June 2010.
Kevin Rudd was removed as prime minister and replaced by Julia Gillard. Three years later Gillard was removed and Rudd returned. In September 2013 Tony Abbott won government, the third prime minister in three years.
Voters watched leadership lurch from crisis to crisis.
Reactive politics exhausts the public and erodes trust. Leaders with support structures can pause, consult, and choose deliberately instead of governing from permanent emergency.
Supported leaders can pause and choose wisely.
Context
We all run on the same human hardware. Let’s build the support and checks to match the pressure of the job.
