Abstract: This article has intellectualized the reasons behind the defeat of President George Manneh Weah in the 14 November 2023 runoff election. Using the qualitative analysis, the paper employs the omnipotent view of management as the theoretical framework to explore the problem associated with President Weah’s defeat. Equating the theory to politics, the article argued that as the manager, chief executive officer (President) elected to manage the affairs of the state (Liberia) takes full responsibility for the success or failure of the government. The paper also argued that the defeat of President Weah is not only a lesson learned for his government but also for the UP government under the leadership of Amb. Joseph N. Boakai perhaps by extension for African leaders. Conclusively, the article argued that the defeat showed that Liberians are politically mature enough to understand the difference between mere political rhetoric and tangibles. In other words, gone are the days of managing the affairs of the state on mere political rhetoric.
