In a heartfelt message on social media, Majid Michel, a respected Ghanaian actor has said most of our leaders are professional manipulators.
In an era where most celebrities have decided to throw their weights behind politicians and political parties, the actor seemed not ready for such moves.
In his Facebook lecture on leadership, he said;
“True Leaders are more concerned about discovering a purpose to improve the life of humanity, that’s more important than their personal ambition, so they sacrifice themselves to accomplish something for the greater good. We find that rarely these days”.
He added that, “Most people we call Leaders are simply professional manipulators, and they are actually more concerned about their own promotion than promoting the people. A leader is born when a human discovers something more important than their personal ambition. Leadership is not something you pursue”.
It is uncertain if the multiple awards winning actor ahead of his endorsement for a particular political party’s flag-bearer in the upcoming December general elections decided to put up this lectures.
@fourfront1602 True Leaders are more concerned about discovering a purpose to improve the life of humanity, that’s more important than their personal ambition, so they sacrifice themselves to accomplish something for the greater good. We find that rarely these days. Most people we call Leaders are simply professional manipulators, and they are actually more concerned about their own promotion than promoting the people. A leader is born when a human discovers something more important than their personal ambition. Leadership is not something you pursue. it’s something you discover. Leadership has nothing to do with you. it has everything to do with the people. Winning an election does not mean u are a Leader. it means you are a politician. if you are ordained as a pastor does not mean you can lead a church. LEADERSHiP is not a right. it’s a privilege. And it’s a privilege given to you by the followers. And if the followers don’t know how to identify with good and effective Leaders, then we will continue to have mediocrity in Leadership. #LEADERSHiP @enginuzun A photo posted by @majidmichelmm on
