Time to Build Inter-Generational Connection with Youths Helping young people to find their feet It's often said that once you hit 50 years, you should reduce the struggle to become something.

You need to become deliberate in offering them support, guidance, and mentorship....

Making Public Leadership a Public Responsibility _By Dr. Joseph C. Ibekwe_ Public Leadership is not a mere theoretical construct, reserved only for intellectual discourse and interrogation. Instead, it is about how the policies and actions of public leaders impact the people. In the journey into public leadership, every action or inaction of the leader becomes an object lesson that could be used for learning and process improvement....

Let's Give President Tinubu Some Time By Dr. Joseph C. Ibekwe Public Leadership is not tea party. It's not cocktail 🍸 party, either. But it's not rocket science. And even if it were rocket science, there are masters in that field 🏑 The journey into public leadership in a democratic society has clear beginning and a definite end time. Having gone through the processes of selection, whether judged credible or not, once persons have been affirmed to assume the positive, every other controversy becomes irrelevant....

Let's support the government of President Tinubu to stabilize and deliver on his Emilokan mandate for our collective good.

The Search for Transformational Public Leaders

Change is the most important thing leadership must deliberately initiate and supervise.

Planned change delivers maximally to the benefit the majority of the people. Unplanned change or poorly planned change renders majority of the people helpless and disorganized.

The Hallmark of transformational public leadership is the ability to implement planned change in the community or a nation. Incidentally, it is the minority that initiates and ensures the implementation of planned change. The reason is that planning requires a lot of time and intellectual investments. This minority is what we call "the leaders". Leaders do the planning and carryout the implementation, in concert with the people.

How do you raise the minority that understand the critical role of leadership? It has to be done through deliberate efforts, because if it's important to have transformational public leaders, then it is important to also groom them. Because, transformational leaders are not born, they are identified and groomed.

This is what we do FLED Institute does through the Centre for Public Leadership. We identify potential leaders and bring them into an ecosystem where they continue to learn, grow and impact the public space. In a country of 200million people, FLED Institute is determined to identify at least 0.01% (20,000) from this population and groom them to take leadership positions across country and get them to demonstrate transformational leadership. This is doable.

We have a target to induct 20,000 professionals into public leadership within the next five years (2023-2027). These leaders will occupy strategic positions in different organizations and political parties. They will work to transform their communities as they implement the principles of transformational leadership.

This is key. The fact is that you can't effect transformational changes in any society unless there is a critical mass of such leaders who act in concert and in collaboration.

The Centre for Public at FLED Institute is committed locating this elite niche. Anyone inducted into public leadership is actually admitted into an elite group that will work for socio-political transformation of their own society.

This is the focus of Centre for Public Leadership at FLED Institute. This is what informs what we do. We induct individuals to become transformational public leaders.

Africa needs transformational public leaders. FLED Institute is established to help supply these leaders to serve in the public space. Our role is clear. We take this responsibility seriously.

We believe it is better to train leaders who will lead right than to complain and bemoan over what bad leaders do.

Public leaders drive development. Let us raise more qualified and committed public leaders in Africa.

We versus Them There is a narrative that I have seen being elevated in our public engagements. I wonder what people tend to achieve when they promote narratives of "we versus them". You see, we are all important. We all have made contributions. Each of us also has potential to make much greater contributions. I find it disgusting, albeit inconceivable, that someone will come to the public square to undermine the image of someone or castigate the contributions of someone, in place of amplifying the image of another or the contributions of another....

Vision, Values and Organizational Culture There are three things make an organization stable, productive and long-lasting. The first is vision. What is the vision of the organization? What is the organization working towards becoming? Is this vision clear enough to attract interest from others? Is the vision big enough to accommodate other people? Can the vision when actualized lead to a significant improvement in the lives of those that subscribe to it and others that might not be directly subscribed to the vision?...

Political Common Sense You know the truth. But you choose to live in lies. You know that tribalism and religion are the two problems of Nigeria, but you support these two. You know that Nigeria is down because incompetent people are appointed to oversee strategic positions because of their tribe or religion. You know this is our problem. But you don't want to talk about it, yet you want Nigeria to progress....

Are you not tired? You know the solution to your problem: elect competent people to serve in Government. Other things will fall in place.

The Power of Good

Good is good. Doing good is a good thing. Doing good will not shield you from disappointments and betrayals of life. But doing good will give you stability of mind and conscience. A clean clear conscience is the greatest thing you can have on earth. Nothing in your material acquisitions can compare to it.

Don't withhold good from anyone on the basis of the person not from your tribe, religion or is in disagreement with you. Just do good because you are good and because doing good is the right thing to do. Just do it.

As the year begins to draw to a close, it's time to review your "Doing Good index -DGi - " in the passing year.

What good have you done to where you work, the associations you belong, the people around your circle of influence, to your community and to your nation? Do good in words and do good in actions.

One attribute that marks out transformational leaders is their inclinations to doing good for the greater number of people. After all, leadership is all about people - their welfare, security and prosperity. As leaders, the concept of doing good for the greater number of people should be your disposition to public life.

Doing Good to young people is even much better because it has potential to generate more good.

Happy new month 💖❤️
