THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…

         THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…

It has been my greatest honour and priviledge over the past decade as an ambitious growing young man to mix, mingle and at the same time to be mentored and tutored by many men and women in different field of leadership within and outside the country. It has always been a fascination as I personally come to discover that, people naturally and without stress follow these leaders base on their leadership styles and qualities.

If there should ever be anytime in the history of our generation where we should be studying leadership principles is now. This was in marriage with the fact that, the greatest and daunting challenge of this present world is tied to leadership. I mean leadership on every field of our daily live. That is, the greatest need of the hour is a clarion call for constructive, creative, effective, positive and productive leadership. The church, industry, education, labour and government are all starving and at the same time yearning for positive and qualitative leadership. It is indisputable that, we have a large number of people filling leadership position but the confronting question is; how many of this leaders are fulfilling the core and essence of their leadership?  The above question now brings me to share with you the definitions of leadership in this context.

The concept of leadership over the years has been defined by many authors and leaders from different field and background.

Ø “Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to move it towards goals of beneficial performance that fulfill the group’s real needs” – John Haggai

Ø “Leadership is:

·        Knowing what to do next;

·        Knowing while that is important; and

·        Knowing how to bring appropriate resources to bear on the need at hand” – Bobb Bichl

Ø “Also, leadership is an awesome responsibility, the process of encouraging and helping others to work enthusiastically towards achieving a set objectives” – Bob Baes.

Having known what leadership is, the next thing that comes to mind is; who is a leader? This question is a captivating one that requires an open answer in as much as true leadership is concerned.

Ø “A leader is someone who cause people to take effective action” – Howard Hendricks

Ø “A leader is one who guides and develops the activities of others and seeks to provide continual training and direction” – Ted Engstrom

Ø Succinctly, a leader is one:

·        Who knows the way,

·        Goes the way and;

·        Shows the way.

My beloved friends, you too can know the way, go the way and lead or show the way. But, all you need to do is for you to become ‘UNLEARN’ so as to, ‘LEARN’.
