All hail the politician
Politics is a science and also an art. All the people involved in it are to understand the fundamentals within it. In Kenya, former President Moi used to say “Siasa mbaya, maisha mbaya” whereby bad politics leads to bad life. Unlike in business where what matters most is the bottom line that is are you making profits or loss; politics is about service that is the aspect of human contact.
Business you make decisions in politics you make the right decisions but have to bring people along to believe in your decisions that you are proposing. Quoting Simon Thompson, Lastminute.com Chief Marketing Officer, he says “Leadership is about people. Management is about output. You will be respected based on successful leadership, you will be promoted based on successful management.” Former US Secretary of State Colin Powell says about leadership as the art of accomplishing more than what the science of management says is possible.
In leadership what needs to be understood is that there are going to be bad days when things are going to be bad, the market is going to be bad due to depression or economic meltdown, terrorist attacks and so on but one person cannot solve all these problems by him/her self alone. This changes act as a lesson to leaders in regard to how they are going to handle the situation or in tough and difficult times.
A candidate is popular as the year or day before they announce their political intentions but the moment it’s announced then his/her popularity goes down.
US President Barrack Obama is attributed as a person of integrity and many political analysts, friends say that, “he is very rational, calm, brilliant person, brightest and smart guy.” Yes he has his shortcomings as all people do have, but his good outweighs his weaknesses according to what is available in the public sphere. Obama is an example of a leader whom we can borrow lessons from in view of how he discharges his leadership role as the president.
All hail the politician who is keen to observe and uphold political principles with a servant hood attitude and heart. One who is ready to offer real leadership without any fear or favour. A person who is seasoned and politically mature to handle challenges head-on, inspiring his/her team through wisdom and brilliance needed.
