Why haven't we had great leaders until now?
34 years of transition have already passed and it is time to analyze these three decades and now that we are almost halfway through the fourth decade.
One can call this period short. Actually, it's not quite like that. We often still deal with Regimes whose duration is no more than 40 years. We continue to deal with 40 years of one Regime and we are forgetting that we are already doing another 40 years in another regime called "transition".
In fact, during these decades that we are living, not knowing how to put a correct name, we have fallen short with the terminology "transition". By using this designation, we are justifying four decades, which are too many.
We must not forget that time is precious for individuals as much as it is precious for a country. All over the world for three decades many intense things have happened, both positive and negative, but they have happened. Whereas, it seems as if nothing has changed and our approach to the name has not changed either, because we started it in the 90s with the term transition and even today it remains the only term that we justify the time.
This means that nothing has happened, nothing has moved and therefore the status quo has remained the same. In fact, time is identified with leaders who are people, and when they remain the same, changes do not occur.
So, as long as we have the same leadership, it means that we have no innovation, and when there is no innovation, it means that there have been no changes or initiatives to make the change. But why have we not had changes? Because we haven't had great leaders? But who are the great leaders? They are the ones who dare to take actions for big changes even for a long period of time.
We have not had leaders like this, because even though they are few in number, they have only thought about actions or sporadic changes with immediate effects, without having the courage or the will for deep structural and systemic reforms.
These are not great leaders, because they have fallen short and by behaving like this, they have not been at the service of the country, but only for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining power. Most of those who have been leaders and continue to be in Albania did not think of writing history, but simply preferred to be in the guest book of history.
The only main objectives of our leaders when they are in the Opposition is to think of taking power as soon as possible, and when they are in the Position they think not to undertake deep decisions or reforms, but have only thought about the actions or decisions to keep the power.
From this deduction, it is quite simple to understand that the power of our leaders has not been and is not a serious instrument of representation to serve the country, but only a mechanism to maintain the status quo and use power as the goal more important for personal service privileges and those around them.
Other countries, especially democracies, in these almost four decades have had leaders who wrote history and remained in history for their decisions or even for their attitudes. Do we have such a leader in Albania? In Albania we have had and have leaders who have consumed time with power and have not considered the latter as a space to do great things that history would take into consideration.
Perhaps the most honest question for the Albanian leaders would be: Have they served time, or have they held it hostage by preventing anything new that could and should happen! Since it is impossible for them to leave even when time itself seems to have abandoned them, then we come to the conclusion that they have taken time hostage and with it our future.
Why have they taken our future hostage? Having nothing new even in the terminology to identify the period after the fall of the Regime until the present day means that we already live in every moment, we keep our gaze on the past almost fixed and we don't think about it at all the future.
It seems as if because of politics or politicians we are punished and deprived of having a future.
So much is the Albanian leadership connected with the past that their dialectic is: You did this? You made it? Have you been like this? None of them almost never use the verb conjugation in the future tense with "will...". They don't talk about the future, because they don't have a vision for it, and they're also not very interested in it! This situation has made us live in an absurd space of time between the present and the past, de facto erasing the future.
Therefore, in these almost four decades, we have not had great leaders, but leaders who have tried to hold time hostage by identifying with the past and consuming the present.
