Comment on Do we really want a leader who celebrates firing people?

It’s an awful tool. It can’t convey complex ideas, doesn’t maintain a useful catalog of effective uses, and only works on a very limited range for a tiny number of subjects.
I might suggest replacing your whip with a library. Libraries have been far more successful at organizing and commanding large numbers of people over long periods of time. The library was arguably the most effective tool of the Pharaohs of Egypt, the Chinese Dynasts, and the Catholic Church in commanding populations by the tens of millions.
Wielding a whip makes you a nuisance. Wielding a library makes you a God.

Good you seem to be interested in libraries. Here’s one with many interesting books to read:

See, you’re not above being led. And you didn’t even need to get whipped.
