In great ability lies responsibility
The vision bearer leads
Mobilizing doers, that one is a leader.
The one burdened by responsibility
Looking out for others
Leaders are born, some are made
What matters is what they become.
Troubled by the problems of the people
Hunger, Poverty, Health, Education;
Leadership, rarely depending on gender
It acts against the status quo.
Those who spend sleepless nights
The welfare of others on their mind
Motivating each step and move
Like Moses and Aaron their exodus from Egypt
Following the Dream to the Promised Land.
Those who willingly embrace positive change
Like Martin Luther King and Mandela of our time
True shepherds of the flock
Gentle tenders of the weak
Wearing the mantle of compassion
They see through the window of the soul
Making sense out of non-sense.
A leader
Out of void creating beauty
Identifying scholars from humble society
Triggering motion from stagnation
Daring to mention the unmentionable
Touching the untouchable
Voice of the people
Captive to the truth
Slave to reason and rationality
Whose dignity is beyond reproach.
Are you that leader - CES Alumnus
Embracing leadership as a precious gift?
Leadership...does it really matter?
