WARNING!

Do not be fooled by the wolf dressed in sheep’s clothing. He

wants to privatize public services. The Federal

Government’s Administrative Reform proposal will weaken the

Brazilian State. We will revive the public service with

professional training for public servants and better use of the

contributors’ money. Only in this way will we have schools, hospitals, police services… of

good qualify for all.

Wake up while there is still time, because the bite of the wolf is

near!!!

FHC the Democratic Transition

FHC: the successor: Luis Inácio Lula da Silva

Lula at 3 years old with sister Maria. The clothes and shoes were loaned to him for the photograph.

Lula da Silva:

• Grew up in extreme poverty

• Raised by single mother

• Life a “Horatio Alger” story of social mobility through hard work

Questions:

• What difference, if any, does such a sharp difference in personal biography make?

• In what ways will Fernando Henrique Cardoso’s legacy be continued under Lula da Silva?

• What changes can be expected due to the change in leadership?

Leadership Traits

• Strength - FHC and Lula are both strong leaders working in a democratic framework

• Competence - FHC is exceptionally competent, Lula relies more on advisors

• Communicating Empathy - Lula is exceptionally good at communicating empathy, FHC finds it difficult

Bottom Line:

• Lula is continuing FHC’s policies despite the difference in personal and party affiliations because they are the right policies

• Lula is more popular because of his expressiveness and his personal history

• Lula owes FHC an apology for adopting his whole program after years of denouncing it
