A Theory of Book Launching
Internet photo
A book launch should be revealing enough to inform and
move the audience, but obscure enough and just peek into the book's mystery and
sway the audience to buy the book.
![Page 3: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Kakistocracy is all about
leadership aberration, forms of betrayal
of public trust, types of trust and
levels of integrity, and techniques of
restoring public trust.

Kakistocracy comes from the Greek kakistos (worst) or kakos (bad) + kracia (rule, power ).
A Hubert Humphrey Fellow at the Maxwell School
of Citizenship in Syracuse University, New York for
2009-2010.
A result of fellowship research on citizenship and anticorruption using the lens of a betrayal theory.

Kakistocratic behavior explains the world’s woes in:• government corruption• citizens’ misconduct• corporate scandals• misdemeanour in the Church• anomalies in civil society• spousal indiscretion
and infidelity• the desecration of rule of law• rise of despotic rulers• illegitimate authoritarian
states
kakistocracy is a government or organization that is ruled by the most unprincipled, unethical and unqualified managers and leaders.

(and takes time again to restore it)
It takes years to build trust,
to destroy it!and a few seconds

If corruption is betrayal of public trust, it is kakistocracy that breeds acts of betrayal.
Kakistocracy is thus the cultivation of corruption in society!

To restore trust, we need to bear with its betrayal!
Betrayal is a breach of trust, when information is shared beyond an
agreed upon boundary of relations,
whether that boundary is a pair of friends
or a nation!Malin Akerström (1991), Betrayal and Betrayers:
The Sociology of Treachery
“Each betrayal begins with trust.” - Phish
![Page 12: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Trust is a firm reliance in the virtues of honesty, dependability, and strength of
character of someone.Hyler Bracy, Building Trust (2002)
![Page 13: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
If it is not right, do not do it.If it is not true, do not say it..
To be trusted – one must gain intelligence and integrity;
one must cultivate character and competence!
![Page 14: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This is the concept of balancing character and competence.
Stephen M.R. Covey, The Speed of Trust (2002)
Simply put, trust means confidence. The opposite of trust – distrust – is suspicion.
When you trust people, you have confidence in them – in their integrity
and in their abilities. When you distrust people, you are suspicious of them –
of their integrity, their agenda, their capabilities, or their track record!
![Page 15: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
So without integrity, intelligence is impunity. Without intelligence,
integrity is mediocrity!
Competence without character is corruptio optima pessima!
The corruption of the best is the worst!
![Page 16: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
But character without competence is dulce est desipere in loco!
The corrupt plays in delight with the fool and mediocre!
Some men are born mediocre, Some achieve mediocrity, and some
have mediocrity thrust upon them.
- Joseph Heller

In applying character and competence, there is a need to distinguish between universal trust from contextual trust.
Hyler Bracy, Building Trust (2002)
Contextual Trust is the competency trust
(assumed trust; basic trust)
Universal Trust is the character trust (higher order of trust)
![Page 18: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
universal trust & contextual trustWe may trust a lawyer to solve our legal problems, but we doubt if he can be helpful in solving accounting problems.
And if the lawyer is dishonest – applying the universal normative character trait (virtue) – we can never trust the lawyer even if he is good in law, even if he is also good in accounting.
Once universal trust is damaged , contextual
trust is destroyed!

Chapter 1Betraying Public Trust
Nothing can undermine a relationship more completely than lack of trust... in business, politics, marriage; indeed in any significant relationship, trust is the essential precondition.
– Robert Salomon and Fernando Flores, Building Trust (2001)
Presentation in mythologized fiction as political puns, with case questions for discussion/reflection.

of distortions in our family and kinship
system.

Some Trends and TrajectoriesCase Studies on Betrayal of Trust
Those who are in positions of trust have the effective natural capacity to betray
(using their positions in power).
People in authority are effective betrayers. They are also in the
position to defend themselves better if they are to be the betrayed.
![Page 26: Kakistocracy Book Launching Slides](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022052822/554ccdc1b4c905d1488b45de/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Some Trends and TrajectoriesCase Studies on Betrayal of Trust
In kakistocratic behavior, the betrayal comes as an abuse of power – the abuse in the use of position for profit, preferment or prestige. This is the private gain at public expense.

Chapter 2Restoring Public Trust
Restoring trust means rebuilding trust in countries, institutions, industries, professions, and in other people generally. It includes counteracting suspicion and cynicism and replacing it with contribution, value creation and ethical behaviour.
– Stephen M.R. Covey, The Speed of Trust (2006)
