On June 30, 2010 your President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo will finally bid goodbye to the seat of Presidency as the president-elect Benigno Simeon “Noy” Aquino will have his oathtaking at the Quirino Grandstand. I’m excited and anxious about the new leadership and hope that it will be different and much more better compared to the previous one.
Obviously I am not a fan of the Arroyo administration as I believe her administration was the greediest one we ever had leaving us with a huge budget deficit. However, political analyst said her leadership style should be followed as she handled the power game very well. She got all the nerves to endure all the bad things that was thrown at her.
The book Beating the Odds described how powerful leader Arroyo was able to be able to avoid all the impeachment attempts and coup attempts mounted against her administration. The outgoing Chief Executive’s steadfastness was even recognized by Forbes Magazine twice and was listed one of the Top 10 World’s Most Powerful Women.
This book that will show us your President Arroyo’s leadership style and may be a good resource for our new leaders on how to and how not to run a government and how the outgoing president dealt with the two throbbing issues in the government especially the Mindanao Peace Process the new second Aquino administration will inherit.
