8. Self-discovery:
i. If a leader has never discovered
who he is, then his leadership will
probably be centered on opinions
and “copy work”. Your leadership
should be unique.

either accepting, refusing

information he carries. Self-
development is finding your gift and
developing the gift.

10. Some questions to answer prior to
assuming leadership responsibilities
include;
i. What does my presence represent
in this institution?

me?

generation to continue?

THE PROCESS OF BECOMING A LEADER

11. i. Nepotism and gerontocracy are
threads in leadership “who can do a
task” and not “who should do a task”
is the language of good leadership.
ii. Time is like a rushing river and a
leader is like a compass directing the
allocation of time and resources.
“once the compass is pointing to
the north, others will easily know
the direction of the south”.16 December 2015 BY GROUP 2 11
NOTIONS IN LEADERSHIP

12. iv. A good leader lives a selective life,
leaders are not called to be
everywhere, but are called to
coordinate and delegate
responsibilities.
v. A good leader maximizes the
perspectives of subordinates but not
necessarily their permission to
execute the rightful tasks.

NOTIONS IN LEADERSHIP

13. iv. Things that look big today will
become very small tomorrow, being
current is the currency in leadership,
“quality attracts quantity”.
iv. A written vision helps the leader to
focus his energy; there are times, a
leader will confess “it is well” even in
tears, times when there is no fruit on
the tree, a good vision gives hope
for the tomorrow.16 December 2015 BY GROUP 2 13

14. THE IMPORTANCE OF A VISION IN
LEADERSHIP

like an ocean where there is barely
a place to put the foot but once a

direction and will hardly lose his
way.
ii. People may laugh at a vision and
make fun of it but a good vision
speaks, nothing is an excuse,

people together for achievement, it
