The best way for a society to prepare its young people for leadership in government, industry, or other fields is by instilling in them a sense of cooperation, not competition.
Preparing young people for leadership in government, industry or other fields requires a sense of cooperation and teamwork. It is therefore imperative for young people to be acclimatized to such conditions from an early age. A competitive temperament, albeit useful is not best suited for positions of national interest.
The shortcomings of competition are twofold. Firstly, there are no friends in a competition, everyone is treated as an opponent. Such a restrictive mindset will not be particularly useful in governance or industry. For instance, an able leader is one who is capable of acknowledging dissenting opinions and making informed choices. If he were bred in a competitive environment, then his propensity to make dogmatic and sectarian decisions increases. Such a leader only takes into the account the well-being of his peers and well-wishers and not his adversaries. Contrast this with someone who has been<span class="hiddenSpellError" pre="been "></span> taught to be cooperative. Such a leader not only acknowledges dissent, but appreciates it as well. People like Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks are some popular examples of this kind of leadership.
Leading a government is a lot like running a marathon and not a sprint. At several points in time, a leader might have to encounter fatigue, demoralization and enervation. In order to galvanize his coworkers or subordinates, a leader should listen to their concerns and work towards alleviating them. A competitive person is more likely to view these disadvantaged voices as an obstacle to his pursuits. Being goal-oriented is an inherently acceptable trait. But in doing so, one must not stifle the successes of others. A good business leader is one who treats his rivals as propellants and not barricades. For example, a mining baron decided to use the proliferation of his competitors as an opportunity to diversify his interests. If he were to have retaliated against his competition, it would have resulted in disastrous economic and personal consequences.
To underscore the demerits of competition, one must also appreciate the overarching advantages of camaraderie and munificence. The adage "You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar" is of particular relevance here. There have been umpteen examples of warring nations resolving their differences amicably by engaging in a consistent dialogue. On the other hand, leaders who choose to be vituperative or vitriolic not only endanger the safety of their people, but also create a sense of alienation between the dispensation and the electorate. The United States and Russia for years had nurtured mutual animosity. This infamously led to the cold war and other proxy conflagrations. This belligerence can be traced back to a competitive upbringing on both sides. The leaders are constantly told that in a man-eat-man world, the only way to succeed is to vanquish your enemies. Little do they realize that the same can be achieved by listening and addressing issues of contention.
It is therefore amply clear that competitive upbringing is detrimental to national interests. Detractors of this argument may claim that cooperation fosters weakness and insecurity. They could not be farther from the truth. Gandhi, in his civil disobedience movement, included his oppressors as legitimate voices of interest and in the end emerged triumphant. One should therefore disregard conflict and competition and ensure that the universal traits of peace and brotherhood are instilled from an embryonic stage in one's personal learning process.
