Leading well is no guarantee that a leader will be popular – Banji Alabi
…..In fact, there will be times where the opposite is more true…..
Leaders take people through change. Change is difficult, People at every level resist change as a result of rapacity jealousy.
The special interest group and others profiting from the status quo , will also resist change , using blackmail, intimidation, orchestrated attack , initiating and spreading false dangerous rumors, to discredit credible leadership
History is replete with such examples of cynical, jaundiced and confused people fighting against their best interests.
In psychology it’s known as the ‘Stockholm Syndrome” ,a condition where the victim displayed unflinching adoration, and loyalty to his captor and tormentor ! For instance the Jews chose Barabbas over Christ and Baal over Yahweh! The Greeks sentenced Socrates and Pythagoras to their deaths, while the Sophists and other assorted charlatans were honored and cherished as the harbingers of truth and knowledge! That’s why the Hindus called our times, the age of Khali , where ignorance, political expediencies and machinations rule. the day!
Yes I can confirm that – Change is difficult, Change will be resisted , Change is almost never initially popular. —
But a good leader must encourage himself in the Lord , He must remain unruffled and drive the change process to its logical conclusion via enlightenment campaigns .
The good news is that these situations of being misunderstood and discouragement shall pass away. Eventually ,and as history has shown ,the people would become more enlightened and Key into the change process . And as they become more enlightened, optimistic and aware of their fundamental rights to the opportunities, wealth and resources that nature has abundantly blessed them with , they will not only participate more enthusiastically and passionately in the change process ,but will vigorously fight for their God given rights to luxury living , thinking outside the box, right visions and the ‘know how’ to bring them what they truly deserve : Life ,liberty, luxury living and the opportunities to be the best they could be !
I leave u all with a smile & : I love u All
