Labour of love

I am moved to write this because of what i witnessed before leaving school. A lot of our leaders dont really know the essence of leadership. I am saying this because when we were given an ultimatum to leave school and mobile policemen were drafted into the school premises, a lot of leaders that were supposed to cater for the people they are leading just thought about themselves. Just a few actually ensured that the people under them were safe and outside school before they left. I would not have written anything about it if there was no security threat, but it is important for leaders to know that leadership is all about the people under you. You are put in charge of people and you dont care about their welfare and safety, the only thing you thought about is you being safe. This is not what leadership is all about, please dont let us as leaders send a wrong signal to people that are just coming up that leadership is selfish. Let us let them know through our deeds and actions that leadership is selfless.
It is only when we can take it up from the smaller level of governance that we can now start talking about making a positive contribution on a bigger scale. We are all humans and we are prone to making mistakes, but there are some mistakes that are just too costly to make. God will continually strengthen us as we strive to klead people in the right way. Please let us know that whatever we do is a labour of love and it will definitely be rewarded.
