Be Resolute
Leadership is not a consensus club and aggregation of opinions. That is not leadership.
Leaders are clear about where they want to go and what they want to become.
They make decisions and resolutions and stick by them even if the whole world thinks otherwise. Leaders take clear and resolute decisions.
Leaders with no spine will never carry heavy loads and transport people to greatness. Play the game when you are in the ring and do not be obsessed with retiring to the bench.
Instead of creating one successor, create a broad platform of capable people. Articulate your principles and stick by them and if necessary fight for them.
When President Mugabe speaks, listen because he is already on the move and he has an iron will.
You may not believe what he is saying but ignore it at your peril. He is resolute and he takes a stand on issues that he believes in strongly. For him there is little grey, it’s white or black.
