Politicians everywhere should take a leaf out of the Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte’s book. This high praise comes after Rutte accidentally spilled his coffee in the Dutch Parliament, and cleaned up the mess by himself as cleaners stood by and applauded him.
In the video, after he spills the coffee, PM Rutte laughs it off, grabs a mop from cleaners who immediately rush in, and starts mopping up the coffee himself. A row of about five cleaners stand by and immediately cheer and applaud the man, much to his surprise.
Another video by BBC News also showed Rutte unable to figure out how to make the mop longer, amidst giggles from the cleaners, who were more than happy to enlighten him.
When it comes to our leaders, while they do hold their own and exude a fair measure of poise, could they use more humility?
