CRUCIBLE: Gravitas and the lack of it

The article "Crucible: Gravitas and the lack of it" by Julkipli Wadi, published on Mindanews, discusses the concept of gravitas, or the quality of having weight, dignity, and seriousness, in the context of leadership and public figures. Wadi reflects on how gravitas is essential for leaders to command respect and trust, particularly in times of crisis or when making significant decisions. He critiques the current political landscape, suggesting that many leaders today lack this crucial attribute, often engaging in trivial pursuits or failing to exhibit the necessary depth in their public roles. The piece also touches on historical and cultural perspectives on leadership, contrasting past leaders known for their gravitas with contemporary figures who might prioritize popularity over substance. Wadi argues that the absence of gravitas in leadership not only undermines the credibility of those in power but also affects the governance and societal values at large.
