The U.S. Presidential Election: What Does It Take to Be a Good Leader?

No one knows whether Harris or Trump will reside in the White House next January. What qualities do you need to succeed?

The US presidential election is approaching and the choice of one of the candidates will have repercussions around the world and for years to come.

The new political and economic orientation will have an effect on international conflicts, ecology and the world economy. Stock prices, inflation, interest rate trends... there will be many indicators that will impact us on a daily basis, despite the fact that the election is taking place on the other side of the Atlantic.

Two personalities, two radically different approaches.

What qualities are needed to take on the leadership role of the world's leading power?

 

The ability to bring people together?

A country as vast as the United States is made up of a variety of beliefs and cultures. Whether in politics or in the professional world, knowing how to bring people together around a common goal is essential to the success of one's goals, to the realization of a shared vision.

This education is a key factor in the success of a company. At Milenia, this was an essential ingredient in the launch of the business and remains central to the day-to-day management of the teams that process your credit files.

Work in a cohesive way, superimposing individual skills so that in the end, your request is accepted by our banking partners.

Unfortunately for the two presidential candidates, whoever wins and although one of them is clearly more divisive, bringing the country together seems, at this stage, mission impossible. 

 

A visionary approach?

The world clearly needs a new impetus, a moment of inspiration that will give hope to populations tired of wars, military or economic. The United States in particular, often held up as an example for its entrepreneurial spirit and its ability to reinvent itself, needs a new lease of life.

Do the two candidates reflect this ability to share an inspiring vision? We'll let you decide...

In a company, without a common vision, without a clear objective, how can you ensure the commitment of your teams? How can we avoid falling into a form of laxity or fatigue?

At Milenia, our values support our mission to improve the lives of our customers. Nice mission, isn't it?

To support you, advise you, guide you so that your personal projects are achieved with the help of a balanced and responsible personal loan.

We are far from perfect and we will sometimes make mistakes, but our commitment to achieving this mission, to implementing our vision, guides us day by day.

 

The ability to reassure?

When one holds power, a fundamental role of the leader is his ability to calm the situation, to temper spirits, to reassure those who are facing personal difficulties.

Here too, the balance seems to tip towards one of the candidates whose communication skills seem more adequate, less generating tension and conflict.

The same rule applies as a leader in a private law organization. Every entrepreneur knows that there will be ups and downs, good and bad surprises, excellent results and sometimes losses... It's in these moments that you have to be calm.

Your personal projects are precious, you may also have to deal with unexpected private complications, life hazards that are sometimes anxiety-provoking. Our role is to reassure you, to take a pragmatic look at your financial situation and to ensure that the financing solution offered is the most adapted to your reality.

Above all, we must work to improve a potentially precarious budgetary situation.

Remember our mission: to improve people's lives is what inspires us when drawing up each loan file.

 

Be a good strategist?

The future president will not be alone. An army of advisors and experts of all kinds will be at his side when it comes to deciding on this or that issue.

And yet, anticipation, having a holistic point of view on the state of the world and business, the ability to take advantage of multiple perspectives... All of them are useful skills for a good strategist.

Both candidates are one step away from the most prestigious position in the world, one of whom has already held it. Logic would dictate that they should be considered good strategists whatever the outcome of the election. However, being a good strategist for personal purposes is not a guarantee of success when it comes to leading a country.

In the business world, knowing how to steer your ship to port in the best conditions, at the right time, at a reasonable cost, while remaining true to your convictions, requires a particularly refined strategic mind.

This is why, in just a few years, we have become a key player as a financing platform.

You might as well rely on a group with a national reach, with the widest range of financial partners and capable of offering you attractive credit conditions and truly tailor-made solutions.

 

And what about ethics?

That's a great question! Perhaps it should be at the very top of the list.

We have the right to hope that ethics, respect for others, empathy, a strong foundation of values, a humanist and benevolent approach... are the drivers of political commitment at the highest level. However, it would be a bit naïve or at least simplistic to believe so.

This is certainly the case when you get into politics and many local officials do a wonderful job. However, we did not venture to say so for the position sought by our two candidates in the running.

Power, personal and financial interests are largely intertwined.

Fortunately, in the world of credit, there is a law that clearly governs the scope of action of service providers and we are delighted about this. This has the merit of largely eliminating scammers and questionable practices in the industry.

As a reminder, you should not under any circumstances pay for the costs of setting up your file, make sure that your personal data is protected, know that you have a right of withdrawal up to two weeks after signing your credit agreement and avoid making requests to various credit institutions at the same time; this will impact your data in the databases consulted by financial institutions.

Ethics are central to our business, so if in doubt, contact us and we will be able to explain things to you clearly, simply and without obligation.

We will never be at the head of the American government, or Swiss for that matter, but we are leaders in our field of activity and serving you is our main mission!

Milenia, by your side.
