Leadership.
Leadership is based on inspiration
It's never about domination
A lot of people think it's about cooperation
But in most countries, I have seen, it is about intimidation
How can people cooperate with you if they don't feel inspired by you?
How can you make a difference in another life when nothing shows in yours?
This is what most world leaders lack hence they intimidate
Their intimidation only fuels deeper-rooted hate
This is why you can't fully vouch for any Nigerian leader in any state
It starts from the top and trickles down to the bottom like a bait
This has become the norm and leadership has been misdirected, such a sad fate
How can the blind lead another blind safely through a gate?
We all make the same mistake too based on how others have led of late
Most people even brag about age when leading, asking "Who is your mate?"
Your age doesn't matter whether your name is Nate or Kate
Leadership is not a function of age but about inspiration and carriage
You can be as old as Methuselah and a lot of people don't rate you
You can be as young as the young David and still inspire people to victory
Look beyond your age, look beyond intimidating and focus on within
What do you have that can attract people to want to learn from you?
Leadership is not about political or official appointments
You can lead from where you are, with a worthy example
Thank you for your time.

Still me,

We all need to be lead rightly because that is what will distinguished us from others
I have read a quote that says civilization is in danger when those who have never learned to obey are given the rights to command.
One of my favourite quotes. It is indeed true...we have those who can't even obey giving people mandatory lessons on how to lead. It's sad.
It's a collective effort, absolutely. Those who are leading wrong today started off wrong on a path. Wherever we are, wherever we are, we can lead from there.
That's very true. They started on a wrong path and it's affecting the innocent ones
Nigeria leadership is a mess. leadership is far beyond age, the sooner we know this the better it will be for us.
I swear, Nigeria came to mind too and sadly most African countries too. It's just too much.
That's why most African countries are called underdeveloped because the growth is being stemmed down by poor leadership.
It's a mess...a cry for help and in great distress. I pray God helps us because Nigeria is a shadow of herself and it keeps getting worse.
I wish our leaders in Nigeria will acknowledge this fact. Leadership is really by inspiration, people follow you when you inspire them, but over here it's about greed, no one is out there to serve, most of our leaders are gluttons looking for how to amass public wealth to their private pockets.
It's about greed, absolutely. It's always about what's in it for them. It's sad. We play politics, tribalism and all sorts. It's disheartening.
Leader is who, who impresses people with their vision, the life he lives and the care he has for his people, he earns respect by his deeds, but by forcing people to respect him. now a days, these kind of leaders are no where to find.
Earns respect by his deeds. That's it. Most people want respect they haven't earned. It's quite sad. This is a lovely comment. Thanks for this.
What you say is true, if one does not make a difference it is impossible to make a difference in others.
The abuse of power is not leadership, it is cowardice that the powerful will mask with their clumsiness.
It is cowardice my friend, as you have rightly mentioned. We have a lot of people abusing power because they can...yet they want to earn respect. Shame.
What a great writing, recently I was talking about that with a friend about the difference between being a boss and a leader, the boss is the one who gives you orders and intimidates you, instead a leader is inspiration and is an example for everyone, that's the basis of a leadership that inspires the people you have around you, I agree with you that this has nothing to do with age, great writing my friend, greetings ♥
Thank you very much my friend. I always look forward to your comments. They are always heartfelt and detailed. Thank you very much. I always appreciate everyone of you who take time to comment. It means a lot.
Thanks to you brother for all those great writings you share with us here on Hive ♥
Leadership is not by age. It takes humility. It takes drive. Having a foresight and the ability to lead others to achieve a common goal while leading them individually to their own greatness based on their strength. Most people just want title but they don't understand what leadership entails. This is wonderful. Another spot on post.
Another spot on comment hahaha. I picked from your words. Thank you for this brilliant comment as well and thanks for your endless support. I am not ungrateful. Thank you.

This is absolutely a wonderful poem. Most of us think that leadership is all about raising your shoulders are feeling like you are on top of the world. That's not what leadership is all about. As a leader, your duty is to serve your people, respect their ideas and try to know what they want.
Leadership is actually a thing of service
Not a thing of malpractice
When approached with wrong notion, it can give rice to lots of havoc and even malice
It is required everywhere, even in Paris.
It is good we find the real essence of leadership and not just dive into it for whatever benefit or entitlement we feel we should have.
