Abstract

From the standpoint of organizational studies, the contributions of competent individuals to leadership hold immense importance for an organization’s progress. It is indeed paradoxical that some leaders opt to sideline competent individuals who have the potential to enhance their leadership. This article delves into several reasons behind the inclination drawing from the author’s personal experiences and document analysis. It employs the theory of value-based leadership, as conceptualized by John C. Maxwell, as a framework to interrogate this tendency, with a particular focus on the Liberian society as the contextual background. The reasons that could be equated to the findings of the study reveal leadership by position, a sense of insecurity of competent people, a wrong sense of perception of competent people, and the protection of interest.
