In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership.

In this statement, the arguer actually has a dual-claim. First, no matter in which profession, those in power should step down after five years. Second, revitalization through new leadership is the surest way to success for any enterprise. As far as I am concerned, I concede that limiting the term of leadership is an effective way to prevent corruption and the lack of initiatives, however, I disagree with both the two claims.

To begin with, in many areas, especially in politics and government, it might be better that those who in power don’t hold the same position all the time and should step down regularly. It is known that absolute power will lead to absolute corruption. And leaders tend to abuse their power when they have no fear of losing their power. In order to avoid from corruption, autarchy, those in power should step down regularly. George Washington, the commander of American Revolution and the first president of United States, refused to run for the third term for president. By this decision and devoted services, he gained esteem of the whole country and became a symbol of American Virtue.

In addition, such system might activate young man to work hard since they see the choice and hope to be a leader. And a new leadership usually has greater initiative and would bring in new ideas. And this newly emerged leaders bring new ways of leading and managing, and they are more likely to keep in better touch with the chaging times as well.

On the other hand, frequently changing the leader also brings out some problems. The leader tends to only focus on his achievement in his time in the position but regardless the subsequent leader. Besides, not all those in power in all professions should step down after five years. Those in power usually have abundant experience. Furthermore, new leadership can not ensure to be the surest path to success for any enterprise. New leaders often lack the necessary skill and experience to cope with existing problems; therefore, they need a period of time for adaptation.
