Paternoism


to cultivate the appearance of successful leadership, all the while managing one’s organization in a detached–perhaps even negligent–manner that invites malfeasance; to ignore poor and criminal behavior on the part of one’s subordinates; to become so captivated in projecting an image of one’s own comp-ssion and beneficence, that one loses track of one’s own charges and responsibilities.
“‘having a photo-op on an aircraft carrier, while your administration writes plans to cut veterans benefits is an act of the most hubristic paternoism–but the optics are sure to move the peoplemeters,’ remarked the campaign consultant.”
