People demand that you do X, not understanding/forgetting that you doing X requires that dozens of others also agree with you on doing X. Decision making in a democracy is something most people would never have experienced first hand. What percentage of people have ever had to go into a room and get 29 out of 59 to stop what they are doing and listen to you? Instead, people mostly read the news to judge what you do and "having conversations" is deemed as "not doing anything."

Absolutely. Understanding and compassion is important - it's still a sign of stagnancy and incompetency in our leadership positions: the best of the best should be at the lead, and these people are not behaving like leaders - they're not behaving as if they are witnessed by their peers, by society; we need people who care what others think about them, their behaviour, the consequences of their actions - and who assume or believe that all of their actions will be accounted for; and perhaps these people needed to have a live video feed on them to help keep them in check, as part of protocol - to actually be witnessed, to create a container for integrity.
