TITLE:- A LEADER IS AS GREAT AS HIS APPOINTMENT.
TUESDAY,JULY 3, 2018.
“Leadership is the challenge to be something more than average.”-Jim Rohn. These month I want us to reflect on leadership. Leadership is important because without a leader, nothing changes, nothing grows, nothing great happens, and success becomes an illusion.
One of the challenges of a leader is the kind of people he or she finds to work with. You can predict how successful a leader will be, based on his/her appointment.The appointment of the right person makes all the difference.
The whole verse in Genesis 41 speaks about king Pharaoh’s dream and making Joseph the prisoner, second in command to help manage his economy. There are many lessons we can learn there but my focus will be on why should the king appoint Joseph.
The success of a leader depends on who works for and/or with them. Joseph was not an Egyptian, but he was appointed. He is a prisoner but he make Egypt grow in wealth even in scarcity. He is a convert alleged of rape, and that alone can make the king lose trust in him.
It’s not enough that he interpreted the dream that tormented the king all night. It’s not enough that he provided solution to the king on how the famine can be solved not by farming during that drought but in the times of abundance.
The best decision the king did was to appoint Joseph to be in charge of affairs and indeed Joseph delivered to expectation. He made the king exceeding rich.
To be a great leader, you need to be careful about the appointments you make. Sometimes you NEED TO OVER LOOK friends and acquaintances because leadership is about who can deliver results.
This is the challenge Ghana is having as far as leadership in every aspect is concern. Most Leaders appoint sycophants.They appoint those they can manipulate.Those who they know. Remember the first time the king saw Joseph was when he interpreted his dream. HIS BACKGROUND AND TRIBE DID NOT MATTER, what matters is how good can he deliver the needed results.
Even in the church these days people are appointed based how cool he or she is with the leader. It’s a shame. No wonder the churches are becoming more like the jungle, thus “me first at all cost.” No one to sacrifice.
Please leaders be careful about your appointment because the consequences are far reaching. Don’t just appoint people because they are free with you. Choose people who will deliver results.
“You can predict how successful a leader will be based on his/her appointment.”- Emmanuel Lamptey.
Thanks. Jesus Christ loves you.
Have a blessed day. Stay bless.
