It’s easy to criticize people in power for most people. We see fault in everything they do and complain about it. Have we ever asked ourselves if we can do better if placed in that same position?. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a president or head of state. I’m talking about leaders of different organizations and bodies, someone charged with the responsibility of controlling or moderating an entity.
When you say the word "leader" it has a variety of meanings. What most people think of is someone that has control over a group of people, but actual leaders are more than that. A leader doesn't necessarily mean that they are smarter or more intelligent than others, they are just passionate about what they believe in for the betterment of all.


Leadership is one of the most challenging of tasks, it isn't an easy task to lead. It only takes the smart and intelligent to control different people from different backgrounds with different opinions; and at the same time, it takes much more than that. It's not enough to be smart and intelligent, but you must be trusted and respected by the people who count on you. I've had the good fortune of meeting and serving under extraordinary leaders who have inspired me to be better, to see things differently, to appreciate others and listen to their opinion. To put the general goal before mine and in the long run, my interest is satisfied.

 They are bound to make mistakes, no matter who they are. The point is not whether you make them or not, but the way you deal with them.

Leaders can learn from their mistakes, grow from them, and then use that knowledge to move forward in a good direction.

When someone makes a mistake that is evident for all to see, it is best to bring it up with them in private. Publicly calling out someone on social media is not a good option.

If done properly, you should be able to approach the person and hopefully work it out and say, “Hey… I noticed you did this and I think trying this would have been better because x y and z.” That should be it.

Coming back to the topic of making mistakes, we live in a culture that does not want to accept them as normal human behaviour. Everyone wants to be perfect, but as we all know, this is not possible.

 We all must have heard stories of the young boy who lead his people to victory against an enemy. A story about a man who overcame his weakness to win a contest with the help of his team. All these are only possible with the help of the subordinates. The success of a leader depends on his subordinate.

 However, if you’ve tried talking to your leader privately and he/she refuses to change, talking to two or more people might be the next thing to do. Once you realise his/her actions will lead to the downfall of the group, you can talk to people you know he listens to and if he still persist in acting that way, resorting to calling out in public "might" be the best action.

Not all leaders are willing to accept they’ve made a mistake, some will try to twist words just to prove that they are never wrong. Accepting you made a mistake and apologizing directly or indirectly can endear you more to your subject. Do you know a leader that doesn’t listen to the subordinate? Such an organization will most likely stall and remain stagnant.

Thanks for Reading!🤗💚🤗

 I decided to write on this after doing the $2 task noise.cash admin gave most people yesterday. What I thought won’t take 10 minutes took over 30 minutes of my time. I then realize how huge the work of the admin is. I wouldn’t want to be in their shoes. How was the task for you?

Special thanks to @heartbeat1515 for the sponsorship renewal. Thanks a lot.

There are a lot of people who really criticize leaders. They would only see the one small stain in a white shirt. They fail to acknowledge the efforts exerted and the works that were successfully done. Truly, it only take a great man to step up as a leader because aside from the responsibilities on his shoulder, he also carry the weight of people's judgement.

Leadership isn't easy at all. I had that knowledge right from a young age. I had to be spanked by the principal before I accepted my post as a deputy head girl in school.

I used to be such a critical until recently when leadership started finding me in almost every Sphere of my life. Its easy to talk and direct when you're not the one holding the paint brush. The moment you hold it, your perspective is bound to change.

I can relate to this article so we'll because they was a power tussle in my school's fish farm. We have a coordinator from our class who was chosen by the farm manager, but some persons in the class always find one way or the other to frustrate him.

It got to a point where they started quarreling with him and the farm manager intervened and said the two ring leaders of the opposition party will take over the work of the coordinator for 2 weeks and walk in his shoes to see how "easy" it is to lead. Long story cut short, both of them saw hell during that 2 weeks, and now they finally know it's not easy.

That noisecash task was crazy sha, I started well but before getting to the end I was already feeling tired. The admins are really trying

Leadership is a very big responsibility, there will be heaters and some that pretend to like you in the group, and will be ready to feed on your downfall. People without strong mental health can't become a leader cause they might end up having anxiety.

Leadership in a small gathering isn't that easy, talk more of leaders in high places..it's a very challenging task, but the issue there is that when they get to high positions they become full of greed and have no single emotions for the Mass and they become so wicked and want to remain in their position without disturbance from any opposition. Still not denying the fact that me still have good leaders

I would always say it leadership is a very heavy boot to wear it takes alot to be a leader so people should pipe down when they criticize leaders

And unfortunately, there are many leaders who were very good in the beginning, but after a while, the atmosphere of being great and unique took over. And because of the same feeling of arrogance, they kicked first at their own image and then at all that was under their control.

It will me hours to find a laptop to do it on, I was scared that it would vanish... you are indeed right about this topic, I see it all as envy trying to bring down a leader... but a leader is a always a leader, like my pastor would say talk to the minister if I'm not doing what I ought to do...

That is leadership, not when something occurs we go about telling everyone just to spoil the work done.

A very good lesson to everyone..

The leadership role is not for the weak because it consumes one time and is a role that requires people with a lot of patience because you will be tempted to get angry and in the end, they will talk bad about you. One needs to be humble and friendly when in this state and be ready to be rebuked by his followers.

Leaders are also human beings and prone to make mistakes like others, but best ones are those who accept their mistake and try to do better next time.

It takes benevolence and lowliness to be a decent pioneer. As yet hanging tight for the errand notification.it isn't in every case simple to be a pioneer and alot of pioneers once they are on top appears to fail to remember that they will not keep going forever as pioneers and a few chiefs utilize the chance to just improve and foster just their circle

I haven't received that quest at noise yet, maybe it will come today. It is our most natural right to criticize, especially those who make decisions about our mistakes. For example, if I were in their shoes, I would never commit corruption. or I will never favor, I will show equal management to everyone. Leadership skills are important in wars, but not so necessary in other areas.

This is really a masterpiece, but sincerely it is not always easy to be a leader and alot of leaders once they are on top seems to forget that they will not last forever as leaders and some leaders use the opportunity to only enrich and develop only their circle...

You have spoken fine brother. I guess why we make those complains most times is as a result of our impatience in seeing to the fact that the government does this or does that very much in a hurry and when such things are not meted, then we complains and criticize them a lot which is very wrong. To be a leader is not a day's job cos you are trying to make a decision that would affect many subjects of yours positively and guess what, it is not easy at all
