Some people
will say it means followership; that is a leader is a follower, some says it’s
service to humanity; leaders are slaves to the people, some will say it means
taking responsibilities, representing people, deciding on behalf of some people
or being in charge of some people, like we expect in political offices. And these are the reasons a lot of people think leadership
matters concerns some people and not some other
people. From my own end, every living being is a potential leader as I see
leadership to mean being in charge of one’s subconscious mind, having full control over
ones potentials, taking full responsibility of every of one’s action, being a
good follower of one’s beautiful dreams, being a slave to oneself and others,
service to oneself as it extends to one’s immediate environment (Ibrahim Faruq
2017). Hence, everyone that aspires for success is a leader. One of the
duties expected from a leader is to transform every available resource to
wealth for the led group. Similarly, every individual is expected to fully
utilize and transform every creative thinking, insight and dreams to self
wealth and societal wealth.
With courage, perseverance, patience,
hard work, relentlessness, hope and determination, a good leader must
successfully convey all his followers to the promise land. A leader should be
all time willing to give up all he has for the growth of the people. A leader is
expected to have a big heart, just as much as he walks with his brain, his
heart should not be left behind. The legend of
the state will go through hard time to achieve success, and at the end their
names will remain on the lips of the young and
old, rich and poor and even the deserted. Good leaders sleep less, think more
and act at the appropriate time. Procrastination
has never been attributed to great leaders, fear and faithlessness doesn’t make
a good leader. On their faces success is what is clearly written. To the public,
a respected leader smiles to instill hope and cry in the corner of his room.
The full management of the masses wealth is expected of a leader, the complete
transformation of the natural gifts is paramount to a good leader.
Don’t forget that to yourself, you are
the boss, to your potentials you are in charge, to your actions you are accountable,
your future depends on the present time you have. Will you be a good manager of
your dreams? Will you be called a good leader of yourself? Will you be patient
when the going gets tough? Will you persevere? Will you show courage? Will you
take yourself to the promise land? Can you manage your finances till the days
of luxury? Will you act more than you think? Are you ready to sleep less and
work more? Will you be the Awolowo of yourself? Will you fight for the freedom
of your potentials like Nmadi Azikwe did? Will you let your name remain like
that of Nelson Mandela? It is a journey of purpose, walk it!!!!!!!!
