Nigeria and the value-based leadership

Leadership is an issue that concerns all humanity. But a true leader and visionary in general difficult to find. We are not only concerned by this phenomenon, but I feel.

Are we in one high-ranking government officials or business, and guide young minds is a family, a sports team or committee to a dinner, a class project or a carpool to organize a family or simply take what is good in all areas of human activity, we all have a leaderplay a role. In other words, he is often asked, mentors, called value fair and equitable, sustainable and our care at one time or another.

E "because of the obvious differences in the dignified and good governance in many countries around the world that the composer has recently thrown:" What happened to the Management has all the great leaders of the world? "Research real leadership based on values ​​is not confined to the world stage, butIt is also important that the task of socio-political, cultural, educational and moral development in countries like Nigeria.

Nigeria and the value-based leadership

And see a real leader, the values ​​of leadership? The estimated value of properties are desirable in themselves and they would like. Therefore, experts in human values, as a "soul, the essence of who we are as people over." These values ​​and the recognition that credibleNigerian society, which are open, patriotism, personal integrity, compassion, courage, transformational leadership, responsibility, vision, creativity must be built include the knowledge, skills and passion.

Leadership is described as a type of service. Work efficiently, drivers must be individuals or groups of the team must address. Would have the time, some of the shortcomings noted above in the guideEuropean economies in London published an article in the Sunday Times entitled "What happened to the real leaders?

To examine the public reading of the journal series of questions about how it happened? "I expect nothing from them (the leaders) are waiting to learn from them is nothing to be exciting and creative, or just the only thing we have a real weakness in the head less than any other time in recent history. ...

The fact is true not only in the western worldIf you fight against the problems the previous government, but the situation in Nigeria, that the needs of the country's most populous black world that is based on values, leadership visionary. The box is a big reason for the rapid emergence of a type of leadership that Nigerians from the clutches of a number of socio-economic problems of bad governance or maladministration.

While stressing the need for everyone with a warrant, sacred and inviolableLeadership in each community, Walter Lippmann, American newspaper commentator at the end of his column: "Today and Tomorrow", a description of the new direction, they keep trying, "guardians of the nation's ideals of faith, love and hope of faith, the aggregation of the nation is just people. "

Lippmann, voice, word literally refers to the guardian, guardian or custodian, as Pro is an active member of WordThis means that the landlord's action. This is the only guardian of the people's confidence in the mandate received than others. In other words, the situation is not motivated, selfish behavior, the development of Nigerian newspaper indecent witness various aspects of national life.

Today, we see something new in the country flooded the mass media, with disruption of stories, outrageous and irresponsible inflation contractdisappeared after collecting funds in the amount of the mobilization of farmers lazy or the sum total of the contract often blind with impunity against the looting of the Treasury, robbery, a culture of waste, lack of foresight on the part direction, creativity and endless disappointment in the art of governing, and semen samples in white elephant projects, the importance poor, not much to the aspirations of the people.

If the suspected thieves invasive approach, adoptedMany different levels of government leadership is not enough, a new dimension to be introduced, of course, the illegal plundering of national wealth, strengthen the collective. It is clear that these days, powerless, as Nigeria continues to hear or read horror stories of economic crime in various forms and reports of looting of the treasury in the media.

It probably made two appointed by electedTake the active complicity of public officials allegedly ineffective, immoral and powerful collection of tolls for trucks and / or driver of soldiers and officers of the Nigerian police in the streets of the nation, the absolute misuse of the statutory grant of First projects and development programs on private accounts for personal budget by corrupt leaders.

Although this system is perfect, the former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria, General Sani Abacha the lateProgram, Walter Carrington, a seminar in Lagos, to avoid last year, a comparative analysis of leadership continues unnecessary suffering from Nigeria to the United States (U.S.) within a values-based leadership. Carrington, particularly the gradual transition of the United States have experienced over the years referred to the point that "racism and nepotism" are rapidly disappearing in America is open for an African-American (apparently, Barack Obama) to winfill the support of most Americans, the White House, the seat of government of the United States in Washington, DC

According to him, instead of clear progress, the loss of a value system in Nigeria, corruption, "indigeneship" political gangsterism and vandalism an important role in the country, the national instrument of the left.

No wonder why some people wonder if it is ever to recover, accountability, responsibility and sense of integrityA dictionary of the current crop of political leaders. Perhaps, as individuals and groups who are wild, believes that demand significant changes in socio-political, light apparently deliberately targeted management functionality at the time of the founding fathers the statesman of Nigeria and Ahmadu Bello as the end (Sardauna of Sokoto), Obafemi Awolowo, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Anthony Enahoro, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Murtala Muhammed, and others who Osita Osadebeymuch more to protect the welfare of the masses sacrificed.

The proportion of unique challenges with regard to human affairs, insofar as they are the leaders of the old love and strength of character, discipline, loyalty and patriotism, "he said.

However, it is remarkable that today there are still men and women of substance, a rare example of value-based leadership and courage in the service of humanity, both public and privateThe Nigerian economy. Research has shown that Nigeria, like Dr. Christopher Kolade (aka Mr. Integrity), Mazi Sam I. Ohuabunwa, Muhammadu Buhart, Prof. Dora Akunyili, Alhaj Balarabe Musa, Professor Wole Soyinka, Gani and late Chief Anthony Enahoro Fawer, many Sanusi Sanusi Lamidi, Abubakar Umar, Justice Olubunmi Oyewole, El-rufa and Nasril d others to mention here that this category.

Those who continue to keep my head on the inside and outsideAuthority, despite the widely corrupt influences around them. They are certainly a shining example of the new generation.

But believes that many of the population, now receives only a matter of attaching to a corrupt leader of a vicious circle of desire in the cracks of people who own stock in trade of the country forever. It is not uncommon for the crazy idea of ​​"conspiracy" can be heard at every stagesocio-political discourse.

The masses of our people can be easily arranged, as a prominent member of the oil dubious plot, conspiracy, power producers or import of rice to cabal, intrigue, political power, manure, or amorphous, Kabale, among others. Over the years, believes that these groups is a success, so absurd that it goes against the collective will of the Nigerian people to work on all fronts.

Nigeria seeks electoral and partyThe agent must keep the public with nothing for the general public in the future with her. As the custodian of the mandate of the people and serving the common resources of society, people know how to keep leading positions and pattern of positioning of the LED, which is best for everyone to take, although that they do not feel like yours. Imprisonment role in the intermediary role, the impact of conservationsomething bigger than the principles of self-serving of lasting value.

It reflects an attitude that focus on the task and not what a leader for the position, or to win is. It is interesting to note that the relationship between the attentive and concerned leaders and followers is also means that people are motivated by the interests of voters. "

Therefore, these seem contrary to what is happening across the country. In many contexts today in the country, where weofficers appointed or elected not to believe in the confidence of those who claim to serve. Instead, there are a lot of looting in several dozen of them are just ideas, hopes and aspirations of their people down and frustrated forever. If the shared vision and to this day, it is often difficult to determine whether such a selfish Nigerian leaders serve their people in a meaningful way.

reward system for the poor and other important factorsFactor that is likely to be familiar with many managers eager billion diversion of public funds on behalf of the "utility" and in many cases with the help of some looting of the treasury is completely independent of what happens to them after termination of their functions.

Why, then, the institutionalized corruption of the system, the nation? Not a foreign name who lived in Nigeria, was quoted as at the end of the answer to this poser, this: "Becoming almost brokeninevitable, because the fight against the immorality of society (Nigeria), and many people survive without state support. "

Mismanagement, fraud, greed and limitless easy to stay in the eternal characteristics of the system of data collection, it is likely that concepts such as vision-based economic development for the implementation of dust on shelves plans meaningless. But the answers to many questions I ask. He was posted to Nigeria continue to ask rhetorical questions: Where are the leaders lead? ToWho can see how the update much talked about Nigerian dream? For many, the revival of economic sectors to benefit the population seems to be hopeless.

The nature of some selfish leaders in Nigeria have led to difficult problems within the system. Unfaithful continue not only to create a culture of corruption, impunity, political rascality, the senseless lootingTreasury submission, the cult of personality, leadership and unnecessary delays general disappointment among the people of Nigeria, the arrival of a new order under the current system.

Mismanagement has led to widespread corruption in all forms of acts go far to buy the land. This is the view of some, political, bureaucratic, corruption, embezzlement and bribery. Political corruption takes place at the highest level of political power, corruption and greed. "E"Influence the way decisions are manipulated and distorted the political institutions and rules of procedure.

What is the direct effect of these errors in the entire system? Corruption affects the image of a nation, perhaps, as someone wrote recently, "while Nigeria is more than most companies, the international image created terrible suffering that is not position in a bribery and corruption. "

In the vanguard of the countryeyes focused on leadership based on values ​​of the nation's emergency useful for viewing the action in which errors: Anyone who has tried another one came, no matter what aspect of national life for people who understand the true nature of the service was justified even without leadership or not, reality is not something about leadership, but he could steal from the Commonwealth.

It should be clear to everyoneNigeria and tried to go without the exceptional values ​​and ideals of personal integrity, honesty, fairness, confidence in the ultimate success of the company, responsibility and reliability of Nigeria, is probably a walk . The current generation of leaders must learn by example and create hope for the better after the birth of a nation.

According inaugural address of George Washington as a former president of the United States of AmericaIt is also an incentive to avoid entrepreneurs are words he should say: ". ... The smile of the sky not to be the best in the nation, the eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has violated the expected "

Stressing the need for integrity in a proper and efficient also, John Adair, a visiting professor of leadership studies at the University of Surrey and Exeter in England, once said: "... I think that it should beSovereign values ​​outside of your personality and become a force of any moral character. The integrity of the person must always be verified. The first real test comes when the truth of claims or interests contrary to good appear, or. Which will you choose? "One idea I really think.

Leadership, with the location data can increase a person's ability to win any major supporters. There is a perception by some as describedenlightened self-interest to look ahead and the people of Nigeria has assumed the responsibility of managing these interests with the promise that the alignment with the objectives of development. When a friend said: "We all benefit when you do things." Nigeria wants this time?
