If I were the Police Commissioner...That is a clear and true statement. As an executive, I will fix these defects and resolve issues. You didn't seek for effective Legislation, when you were a Police Commissioner. Now, what do you really need? Power. Nothing wrong in it. Just make it clear.
Leadership demands self confidence. You need to build your career on your strength; not on others weaknesses.
You should let the public know that you have all the leadership qualities to become the Chief Executive of the nation.
What you are doing now; People, look at all those corrupt politicians. They are all evil. Compare to them, I am your angel. You have no other choice. So take me as your leader. That is not good leadership.
