The 7 Types of People in Politics
789 views
Contrary to some opinions, no mortal man exists without any form of politics in their domain
According to Saint Innocent of workman International, it is either man is involved in politics or politics is involving man hence man is directly or indirectly affected or influenced by the political activities of their environment
Dr Myles Munroe, one of the world most renowned leadership philosopher says it this way *LIFE IS POLITICS*
No one is politically neutral but style, class, value, ideas and political culture seem different amongst mankind across all human civilization
In a research expedition of Saint Innocent of Workman International Fellowship that span over fifteen years of work, he concluded that all men irrespective of their religion, creeds, tongues and cultural affinity fall into the following types of people with regard to their political behaviour and choice of political lifestyle.
Thus, we have:
THE WATCHERS
This group of people don’t seem to want to belong to any active political group or engage in active politicking but influences decisions, thoughts, actions and reactions of others within the political space.
THE SCHEMERS
These are the most politically dangerous humans, they are power brokers, planners, strategist, visionaries and always seek to get things done politically the way they see it, rightly or wrongly.
THE PLAYERS
The group of people here seem to be the political bricks layers, the bridge builders, negotiators, analyst, educators, organisers and defenders of any political interest they seem to align themselves.
THE MINERS
These are politically volatile people and sometimes politically unknown or peaceful people who seat back with great insight to strategize and take advantage of any political opportunity that present itself to make a balance or fortunes for themselves or the society.
THE MAKERS
The elemental humans in these groups are people whose perceived
influence, opinion, personality and authority is commonly sought by others to increase their leadership value or political fortunes
In some climes they could be referred to as king makers.
THE WORKMAN
This group of people shape their separate unique political identity based on their perceived technical know-how and political sagacity or claims of ability to do or perform.
THE DEALERS
The dealers are groups of people who invest in political process, politics and the political itself.
They give or promise or promote a value in return for another value or a higher value of a political gain or interest either for themselves or for the good of the society.
You definitely fall into ONE or MORE of these groups or someone you know could be humbly identified here.
We admonish that, you do not think that politics is a dirty game? Politics itself is not dirty but some people involved may be dirty in spirit and character.
Therefore, to be on the right side of a political history, we all need a social and spiritual regeneration.
