Leadership vs Opportunism

"My Oga at The Top" a fast selling comical brand in Nigeria since Mr Shem Obafaiye, Lagos Commandant of NSCDC goofed on Channels Television on Tuesday 5th March 2013. A lot of people including myself, have all had fun laughing over it. But let's take a cursory look at the cause and effect of it all.

Art of leadership is a serious business. Some prepare for it while others do not. This is a signal to all especially opportunists that people are listening, watching and taking note of every action of peopl in position of authority. Even when mantle of leadership fall on your lap unexpectantly, you should not hesitate to learn in quest for continuous improvement.

Mind you, with the advent of the Internet, there is a rise in the volume of people who know what they are not used to know. In other words, no hiding place for ill-prepared leaders.

Since you've made up your mind to lead while others follow, be prepared!
