LEADERSHIP and Public opinion
THE LEADER AND PUBLIC OPINION
E. Yao Agbenyo.
The very moment it becomes clear that you are a leader of people, you automatically subscribe to a bundle of daily public expostulation, subject to automatic renewal every morning. Some of the stories will be true, others, half truths, others outright lies. People must discuss you. Some will be in praise stories, others will be defamations, but a great leader is aware of all this, and smiles through it all.
When a great leader sees a sworn defamer of his character, that great leader keeps a smile, and greets his defamer, his sworn enemy with an enthusiastic handshake, and a pat of encouragement on his back to do better things with life.
Can you be a leader without stories flying around you ? NEVER ! You could be the most righteous, pious, godly leader with the best of leadership qualities, or the most Venomous snake in the seat of a leader ! Stories will still go about. Look, being a great leader requires publicity to some extent. Having a great personality means that you will be loved and admired by many, and of course, being admired by many alone in itself is a recourse for hatred and slander from some. Don't worry, they are giving you free advertisement. And if you don't give up, they will change their minds ! So my partner in crime, Aboagye Desmond asked ; what if some don't change their minds ? That's fine ? Prosper Dzitse answered that question very tacitly. Let me quote him "some may not believe in your dream, but that's fine. After all, they weren't there when you were dreaming ? " that's very funny but loaded with wisdom right ?
Be a leader, smile, be strong, be bold, accept criticism, break uncommon grounds, Peter Nartey Martin, another powerful leader of our time says "i urge you to take a bold giant step in line with your vision for the future" GO FOR GOLD, YOU CAN !
BE UNAPOLOGETICALLY AMBITIOUS !
