Wer bei mir Führung bestellt, muss wissen, dass er sie dann auch bekommt. Whoever orders leadership from me must know that he will then get it. According to the taz, the line dates from 2009, when Olaf Scholz took over the quarreling Hamburg SPD.
In October 2022 Scholz, now chancellor, ended a dispute between the Greens and the FDP over nuclear plants with a formal instruction. The Green member of parliament Irene Mihalic said: Das zeugt nicht von großer Führungsstärke. That does not show great strength of leadership.
In March 2023 the CDU leader Friedrich Merz said that ministers argued auf offener Bühne, on an open stage. Der Bundeskanzler steht daneben und sagt nichts. The chancellor stands next to them and says nothing.
