Leadership

Leadership is defined simply as guiding a group of people towards achieving a predetermined goal or vision. Usually, the leader must have seen the goal, the vision and the mission and this serves as a yardstick for measurable steps that will be taken towards achieving the goal.

Now, they are good leaders who will break these down to the followers and distribute tasks so every member knows exactly what is expected and there are measurable targets at each milestone of the journey towards achieving the goal. 

Then there are dictators, pushers, and politicians who make theit personal interests that of the group and drive the entire group towards achieving the selfish goals of the single individual.

Thw outcome is usually disastrous and portends no good for any follower.

Unfortunately this is the case with almost every African country. 

But rather than address this menace, most people seem to blame other bodies, like the church or any other organised body. 

Leadership is unfortunately the bane of Africa and if this can be addressed, the world will be a safer place for everyone.
