Question

When leaders attempt to navigate the slippery slope of fairness, they will find themselves arbiter of public opinion and hostage to the politically correct

Answer 1

In Mike Myatt's Forbes article "Life Isn't Fair - Deal With It" (2011), he states that a leader is obliged to do what is right, without regarding the fairness of that particular action. When leaders endeavour to do what is just or fair, they end up playing the role of an arbitrator to what the public opines and eventually is held captive by the illusion of "political correctness". Every person must affect the fact that no idea is wholly black or white, but is a certain shade of grey. The aim to impose fairness in the system only leads to the prevalence of mediocrity and stagnation.

Answer 2

In these lines, the author says that no one should justify their own inertia by claiming that life is unfair

Explanation:

• Everyone born and lives in different circumstances and but everyone gets equal opportunities to make the best of their lives
• So leaders shouldn't be falling into the traps like "fairness" because it is just like fooling ourselves and the people who follow us
