FOUNDATIONAL REASONS FOR LEADERSHIP FAILURE

Why a lot of leaders failed to deliver excellent leadership is not farfetched.
Perhaps you are considering becoming a leader in your community or any setting; careful evaluation of your way of life, what prompted your interest in leadership and how you intend to become a leader among other factors settles it.

In clear terms, the 3 major foundational reasons for leadership failure are:
i. Lifestyle.
ii. Motive for pursuing leadership position.
iii. Strategies employed to become a leader.

By someone's lifestyle, you can tell it all how the person is most likely to coordinate himself peradventure he/she secures a leadership role. Whatever a person has given his/her life to is a major factor that is key to his performance in any undertaking. Prejudicial, oppressive, deceptive, wasteful and unpatriotic lifestyle is counter productive to excellence in leadership.

If you pursue power for the love of power and the privileges of power not for the love of the people, their welfare and posterity; you cannot deliver excellent leadership. It is impossible to serve people better than the value you place on them.

"Whoever wins election on the platter of injustice is already incapacitated of delivering justice" as I stated in the article: To All Winners At The Poll Everywhere. Without having respect for due process and following right procedures to get things done, you are most unlikely to promote it eventually you become a leader.

'Truth bi say: person wey no sabi road no fit lead the way' (i.e. whoever doesn't know the way cannot lead others through the way). To stand up for truth, justice, equity, fairness, peace and collective prosperity in leadership; you must have been a staunch believer and practitioner of it prior to becoming a leader.

A very strong foundation is laid for success in leadership by getting right our lifestyles, motives and strategies employed in the pursuit of leadership. There is no shortcut to leadership success. Whoever is not excellent at leading an impactful life by adding real value to people prior to becoming a leader cannot do otherwise thereafter.
