Leaders De Change: Mirrors Of Change -By Micheal Adeniyi

“Life is a mirror and what you see out

there, you must first see inside of you”
Our lives are in a constant state of
transition, so also is our society. Life is always moving forward;nothing ever
remains the same.We are continuously
being transported, never suddenly, most
times gradually into the new, this is how the Change President Buhari promised
must have began to manifest, we could
bare the different, the unexpected and the untried.

As leaders, change is one of the most important factors of a nation yet most of our Political leaders do not manage change effectively and positively, now how can we trust or entrust them with the change from within us when even
atimes change happens TO us-unexpected
or an anticipated change which affects us personally. It affects our families and careers, Alas career workers are owed their wages by the Leaders, how do
change occur? Change should happens
AROUND us-It affects our society, state,
nation and also has some impact on us
personally or on our way of life, Changes without plans will bring us down to the brinks at once if leaders can’t be a mirror on the wall to our green flags.

This change is something that happens WITHIN us and It affects WHO WE ARE, it can happen physically, emotionally, mentally or spiritually. Change happens because WE INITIATE it-It’s created by plans we have implemented in order to move us from the present to a preferred future, so who implements the plans? Implementation should be in the Hands of our leaders. Our Political class could only become a better change leaders and facilitators when they first embrace and practice change. Change is a gradual thing that should be experienced on a daily basis and it is relatively easy for people to handle but It’s the sudden, unexpected change which causes us to fear or meltdown and this is where Buhari is missing it, you just dont effect change suddenly, sudden policy droves us into this recession, Ban of foodstuffs suddenly plung us to hunger, Sudden Ban on Imports affected the Dollars when the much crusaded Made in Nigeria’s projects are lacking proper funding, Sudden change with Bail-out without managenent and accountabilty, why No-Salary Plung us into Economic problems, Change could only start from the top. Psychologists have discovered human beings actually crave a certain amount of change. Many of us fight this inner longing. We believe we will be happier in the safe and secure world of the known. Avoiding change and growth is the most dangerous place to be as a human, this is a fact we can’t deny.

Let me say, though it IS scary dealing with the unknown! It IS confusing to move away from the familiar! The Corruption war the Change is coming with as a foremost agenda is applaudable but why are recovered funds kept dormant in the TSA account, workers are dieing! We dont know the next move, Nepotism is rising, We fear NeoPatrimonial corruption. Our Leaders De Change we need starts from Government not Us.
