Follow the Leader

The opinion Leader I admire is His excellency Paul Kagame. The president of the Republic of Rwanda.

I follow him on 3 social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. )

The significant ideas President Kagame espouses are;

The ideas that dignity is a virtue we can only earn from other after we give it to ourselves first. Secondly that humility is the basis of worthwhile leadership.

These ideas are in tandem with the values I espouse as a pastor. God has given us a dignity by making us part of his family and we as Christ followers need to embrace this dignity and as a leader I preach that uncompromisingly. I also believe that servant leadership is build on humility as a foundation and  is one prescribed and exemplified by our Lord Jesus and it is one I subscribe to as a leader.

The advice I would give my president is to regularly use his social media platforms to give leadership nuggets and wisdom from his experience as a leader more regularly because he has a strong following especially in Africa.

• How do the leader’s values, ethics, or principles align with your own regarding leadership? (2 marks)

Below is how 2 of my president’s value align with mine;

My president values family. He is a present father and husband to his wife. The value of family is near and dear to me.

My president values and admonishes our people’s potential by constantly rallying them to strive to do better for the sake of our country. I as a pastor, I notice, nurture and encourage potential in the people I’m charged with constantly in my sphere of influence.
