leadership is the ability to control a certain situation to achieve a set objective.its also the ability to show direction inorder to achive something.leadership is an opportunity to change a society for a better tomorrow.
a leader should be humble and open minded.A true leader should be ready to take criticism from his or her subordinates.A true leader integrates ideas from each and every person and uses them for the betterment of others.He or she does not dismiss anyone because of their religion, ethnicity,social status or even their level in education.
the world today has had its share of bad and good leadership and the results have had dire consequencs on its people and the land as well.Kenya has also had its share of good and bad leaders.Bad leadership in the land and forestry sectors,in kenya,has resulted to ethnic clashes as communities fight for limited resources.This then has resulted to deforestation which has brought about lack of rainfall hence drought.political leadership which has has seen kenya at its lowest point during the post_election violence that resulted to loss of lives,enemity,tribalism and worst of all destruction of homes hence presence of internally displaced persons.
Leaders are the pillar of the society and they can either make or break the people.leadership is power and can be used either positively or negatively.As youths in kenya,we should take up more leadership roles.We are the leaders of today and not tomorrow because there is no tomorrow if our today is ruined.Our current leaders are not the ones who should make each and every decision for us.As we approach our general elections,let us not be puppets for our leaders.Let us be our own leaders and not allow ourselves to be controlled by those above us just because they are our leaders or more influential.
Remember,effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked,leadership is defined results and not attributes.It doesnt matter who you are or where you from,what does is what you achieve.
