Its actually not such a stupid answer.
Its completely inhumane etc but it worked well for Saddam Hussein (among others) who conducted a purge on taking office in 1979 and then never had his leadership questioned again.
- komali2 7y agoWould you want to work for Saddam Hussein?
- rosege 7y agoOf course not - but plenty did.
- komali2 7y agoAnd now he's very, very, dead, earlier than he would have been naturally. On top of that, history will not remember him fondly. Hardly a success story, in my opinion.
- rosege 7y agowell he was the leader for 24 years and outlasted pretty much all democratic leaders from in his time. I'm not saying I recommend doing what he did and you are right history will definitely not remember him fondly along with many other cruel leaders. But his tactic was effective and I'd say you could argue that he would have been the leader much longer if he hadn't pissed the west off in 91 and if 9/11 hadn't happened.

- quickthrower2 7y agoThat’s what makes the question hard. It’s what would you do in this politically dire situation to lead a country while at the same time impressing an interviewer so you can get a job.

- rosege 7y agoExecpt the question isn't about an organization or company its about running a country and there are a lot of countries where democracy just does not seem to be suited/desired, unfortunately.
