I don't think it's a bad thing. And it's not weakness. Is humanizing. Is the alternative model to showy leaders. Being human and vulnerable can be great for rallying support and empathy.

As long as actions remain firm and decisive, being human does not change those.

For a democratic human system vulnerable humans seem appropriate leaders. As long as they're competent and caring for the right things.
