I don't know her, I'm sure she is great but are these really the qualities of a leader?

> Annalena Baerbock is widely seen as decisive, brave, ambitious, and very confident.

I wonder how Marcus Aurelius would rank in the world of today (not that he was very popular among some of his contemporaries).

decisive, brave, ambitious, and very confident are exactly the qualities that would throw you off a cliff at 120 mph.


decisive, brave, ambitious, and very confident << we are witnessing this among leaders of a few countries which are in mess.


True, but on the other hand is decisiveness something that Merkel was lacking, especially in the last years.


I like that her full name is

Annalena

Charlotte

Alma

Baerbock


Yes, I saw her initials sprayed on walls in several cities. She seems to have many fans.
