ON LEADERSHIP; MY SAY.

The system we are living in colludes with corrupt leaders, condones bad leadership and relegates anything important to the periphery. What we see in the high offices is a shameful lack of consistency in pursuit of larger ideals of development, environmental conservation and education. Leadership should not be approached as a cafeteria, where you order the things that you like and avoid those that you don’t. You can’t choose glory, power, and status and ignore things such as performance, responsibility and accountability.
Within us is the ability to spur our country and continent forward, but it will take a deliberate effort, at personal level to develop such abilities to practicability in the real sense.
We must review our standards and values, and then align ourselves to professional and godly ideals. We must believe in ourselves strongly enough to defend our positions on issues, to internalize our roles, forge a clear identity on the basis of truth and good leadership. This will be achieved by personal efforts, better training, and deliberate quality enhancement. Only then can we expect a future where we would be proud to stand tall and be counted as citizens of this great nation; Obamaland!
