It was really interesting to experience the effect of leadership on one's action,reaction and response to issues of life.
recently i became the Commonwealth youth representative for Nigeria and all of a sudden i start experiencing caucus camps on different opinions affecting young people in Nigeria.
In times past my views has always been based on my perspective and analysis of situation and what i believe should be happening, but now the tune of the music has changed.... a blunt opinion has been replaced with an honest opinion..., in a diplomatic manner...l always have to look for common grounds to merger various opinions..., and mine has to be drawn AFTER listening to others.
l have however looked at creating my inner circle..., with these people i do not have to lead...l just have to be EJ.
The difference between a leader and a follower is really perspective and as i work towards finding a rallying point for youth leaders in Nigeria, am hoping i get it right...., if just for the purpose of proving that young people with the country are coordinated and have the skills to lead the country to great heights as against the opinion that we are not good enough....then it is worth every sweat i break.
As i read my favorite book- The Holy Bible...and study about Moses....especially the way he kept the staff with him throughout his lifetime....i wonder what is my staff and how i can guard it jealously to achieve leadership success.
